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.

Clean and contemporary however. Lovely family room with adjoining bedrooms and a kitchen. Great shower. We chose it as we wanted to turn up and eat there prior to an early flight next day snd restaurant was being renovated and we had to walk out of the hotel grounds to get to the pool. Advance warning would have been nice.

We had a 3 day stay. The property is close to the night market, restaurants, church and mosque. It is fairly nice. Lots of space, closet space, kitchen sink and utensils. The staff is super nice and friendly.11q It does need an upgrade. The balcony had an old patio set. The beds are really old. There were a lot of bugs, ants and spiders in the room. The room did not get serviced. We left a "refresh our room" door tag, but the room did not get any service. We came back to a room with unmade beds and messy floor. As a result the number of bugs and spiders increased and also came into our suitcases. Free parking on street is limited. Hotel parking is paid
