凯恩斯美居酒店 4.5 星

I have stayed here previously when it was an ibis. I was looking forward to staying now that it’s been upgraded to a Mecure. I understand a lot has happened with both accommodation and restaurants since covid. This was bad on so many levels. I was told there was onsite parking. The three parking spots were reserved. I was forced to park on the street. Drove around the block several times- every day. When I finally found a spot I didn’t dare move until I was heading out to work the next day. Travelling alone and female,I was limited to restaurants within walking distance. The restaurant was closed at the hotel was closed Monday night. I dined at the very expensive and bad Chinese restaurant adjacent to the hotel on the first night. Dined at the oasis opposite the hotel on the next two nights and that’s a story in itself. Never going back!! I would recommend to anyone flying in , looking for cheap accommodation and are happy to settle for minimum comfort. I don’t know how Accor can say it has been upgraded to Mecure.

Cigarette smell filled the room on & off all evening. I presumed it was because the street footpath is so close to the aircon box. I turned air con off & it still happened. Not recommended for asthmatics, sick, pregnant or for children. My throat & eyes became sore. Loud people on the street yelling all hours in local First Nations language. Window sounds like it’s open but was closed. Rooms have no balcony, so smokers must either smoke in the room (secretly?) or travel out to the covered footpath on the street. Room was modern and clean, & with a private bathroom but it’s the only thing separating it from a backpackers hostel unfortunately. Such a shame selfish people ruin it for all.

I have been staying at the IBIS Styles over the past couple of years when travelling into Cairns and I must say the new look and make over of not only the reception but the rooms is really great. I loved it. Even the work done in the restaurant. Hoping to stay there next time I am in Cairns.

The upgraded rooms are certainly an improvement, but no full length mirror. Beds zip all over the room - needs stops on wheels. Coffee in restaurant is shocking - please get some decent bean mix, like Vitorrio. It tastes like International Roast!!

Property is still in the redevelopement stage. 1. Bar fridge door not hinged correctly 2. the door closure in wrong place as walldrobe door hits it when opened 3. the paint joint in bathroom, normally you fill holes before painting not just paint over the hole.... 4. beside ledge should be on both sides of bed not just on one side. 5. Breakfast ok if you like it served cold WiFi needs improving took a while to get logged on. If all the ground floor units could have an enclosed Patio it would be perfect. Only ground floor units on the Street side have enclosed patios the other side looks out to a builders mess.
