This motel is centrally located between car rental places and the city. We comfortably walked between the two. Our good-sized room on the ground floor was value for money. The decor is in need of a freshen up, but we had access to everything we needed for an overnight stay. Security was explained to us and worked well. The kitchenette is equipped with cooking gear and the bed was comfortable. Even though the motel is situated near traffic lights on a busy thoroughfare, we were not bothered by the noise. I would certainly recommend this motel for an overnight stay.

While this doesn't impact on the comfort and convenience of this motel, the litter on the footpath and in the gardens is an eyesore and detracts from the attractiveness of the property.

Room was spacious due to the older design, Kept well maintained. Location was great close to food outlets, supermarket, laundromat, and bus stop with all buses going to Cairns City Centre costs just 50 cents per ride! Its also the site of the best Indian restaurant in Cairns, Tandoori Nights.

Walls a bit thin and was noisy with other guests sitting and talking loudly outside the room. Traffic noise from the road.

Friendly young staff, though one older staff lady we encountered was not user friendly, good location to town and airport, clean rooms, well supplied with bathroom supplies, handy to food outlets nearby. Good price for budget travelers. Parking available.

Most rooms we had over our 4 different stays were good, but don;'t go for ROOM 11, windows covered by wall of wood and bamboo, so very dark, also shower hot tap fell off, door safety latch was broken. There is an outside area to compensate for the bamboo front wall but it overlooks all manner of pipes, rubbish, rough fencing, etc, so who would want to sit out there at all!

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was thoughtfully set out, clean and comfortable. Parking was secure and pool was great for an afternoon cool down. Indian restaurant adjoining the motel served fabulous authentic Indian food which we enjoyed at our room on our last night in Nth Qld. Well located close to airport. Reasonably priced

Bed was a bit soft for our liking but linen was fresh and crisp. Property was a bit older and needed minor repairs but everything we needed worked well.

A small but functional room. Perfect for an overnight stay before going to the airport. Absolutely loved Heather on reception. Very welcoming and it was no hassle for her to book me a taxi for the next morning.

The bathroom window didn't want to latch closed for me. I wasn't overly concerned as the gates to the complex were locked at night. I also pulled the chair in front of the bathroom door while I slept

Bed were extremely comfy 15-30 minute walk into the centre Restaurant on site, fast food and convenience shops near Nice pool

Pool had some part of the floor missing Things that couldn’t be helped but slightly tainted my time: There was a smell from the Indian restaurant next door In a flight path near landing so could be noisy Windows look straight on to the courtyard so not much privacy when curtains are open

Cosy, comfortable, large rooms. All amenities provided. Close to restaurants and takeaway spots.

Requirement to clean your own dishes: I don't mind cleaning up after myself, but not knowing if the person before me did it properly is a bit unnerving.

The room was basic, but very clean, and everything you'd need for a short stay. Appreciated the crockery and cultery too. The bed was a bit too firm for me, but my husband loved it. I think I might be too used to cushion tops. The shower was lovely and very clean. It's not too far to walk to the Esplanade, but you might prefer to drive.

Nothing to complain about. :)

As always, our family turns to Aspect Central for comfortable, practical, and affordable accommodation whenever we need to be in the Cairns area. The location is unbeatable for its convenience and parking is usually available either within the property or on the very accessible side street. The rooms have everything one needs, and we especially appreciate the self-catering ability. Thank you again for providing another fantastic stay. We'll definitely see you again!

Nothing to speak of, we know the property so well and what to expect so there are no surprises and every time we are extremely satisfied with the room and service. Even the occasional sound of planes taking off or landing serve as a good reminder of how convenient your location is to the airport!

This is a great hotel and close to everything. The bed is really comfortable and the room and bathroom are a good size . There is a supermarket close n a few eateries, however the hotel has the yummiest Indian restaurant onsite. A big shoutout to the amazing lady at reception who went above n beyond to help us with our stay. Highly recommend Aspect Central for any length of stay .
