More than happy
Busy time with school holidays, but a warm friendly family environment.
The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Close to town and amenities, the lush garden areas covered the tell tale signs for a lick of paint. The room was basic but very comfortable.

Was OK
The staff were generally Ok. while it would have been better not to have paid a reasonable ransom compared to what I was presented. the room Was what I expected for the price. Face cloths were not included in the linen. It is very family friendly, and has plenty of parking.

This is the second time we have stayed and both times have been excellent. Cairns Colonial offers great value and puts a lot of the better known hotel chains to shame.

I had a good night relatively if you ignore the fact my room felt like a downgrade from what was booked and it took forever to check in when it was almost midnight. My issue was the following day/night my partner was accused of being someone else and then while we tried to catch up on sleep during the day were harassed by housekeeping as if to check he wasn’t in the room as he felt so uncomfortable he never came to check in with me and my friend joined me instead as I didn’t feel that safe staying in the property alone.
