We had an awesome stay. Staff were very friendly and room was very clean and comfortable. My only negative would be we booked 2 rooms both for 2 adults and 1 child, and only had 2 bath towels in each room. Otherwise it was a great stay. We will definitely be back.

The Mercure is well positioned, only a short walk to the Esplanade and the train station for our trip to Kuranda. The staff were lovely, we had dinner 2 nights, having the specials available on those nights which we enjoyed. We also had breakfast 3 mornings which we also enjoyed. The meals/pool area was a great place to relax. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would stay again when next visiting Cairns.

Staff were very accommodating. Staff at check in organised early check in at 11am. A portable clothesline was provided when suggested that this would be helpful. Room was clean and great that it could accommodate a family if 5! Easy walking distance to ferry and train terminals and restaurants.
