"Mutton dressed up as lamb". Older hotel in good location. Cheap reno furniture, fully priced, no hassles in or out. Clean and recently painted? Clearly more of a tourist family place, not competitive with major chains adjacent which are same price. Noisy neighbour late at night, door slamming in narrow corridor.

A short, 2 night stay to recover from a Brisbane to Cairns Roadtrip prior to flying home to the UK. Nice hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Walking distance to decent restaurants, cairns central train station, beach, splash parks etc. would recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Plaza Hotel, our one-bedroom unit was well-appointed, had comfortable bed and nice view. The staff were friendly and helpful. We also took advantage of the pool which was an added bonus. The Plaza is situated within walking distance of good eateries, shopping and attractions.

Little bit noisy, we could hear the lift pinging every few minutes and sometimes seconds. A lot of noise coming from other rooms and other floors, and outside (sirens mostly). So not much in the way of soundproofing. About a 5-10 minute walk from the majority of the bars and restaurants. Staff really friendly and helpful. Stored our suitcases before we left on the last day, and made sure we knew we could use the shower room to freshen up before our flight. All in all not a bad hotel at all.

We had a great stay as a family of four with two young children. The 24-hour front desk was very convenient, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in a room with a separate living area and a bedroom with a king-size bed, and with a crib and an extra bed added, there was plenty of space and it was very comfortable. Although the bathroom and carpet were a bit dated, everything was clean and we didn’t find it inconvenient at all. The location was quiet yet within walking distance to the city center, which was perfect. The hotel also has a pool, and there's a playground just outside—great for kids. Overall, it was a comfortable and pleasant stay at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

There is a lip and step onto the balcony, especially coming back inside where you step over the lip and then odwn as the room is lower than the balcony. Would be concerned about an older person. We put a chair there to remind us to be careful. View from room was great. Location to food and lagoon also excellent. Didn't use facilities as we were only there overnight.

Soap please

There was only shampoo and conditioner in shower, no soap or bath gel. There was some handwash at basin locked down so couldn’t really jump in and out of shower to use that
