Front desk staff helpful on arrival. Rooms were well maintained and decent size. Buffet breakfast was included in our price and did not disappoint. Bacon, eggs, fresh croissants, fresh fruit etc etc. A couple blocks away from the main strip which meant it was not too noisy at night, Would stay at this hotel if I returned to Cairns.

Consistancy is always a key factor for my wife and I. We have stayed at the Sheridan Plaza over a period of some 13 years. Never have we had an issue with the status of the rooms, restaraunt or the service.....it just simply gets " better ". Our recent stay proved just how good things are and I am moved... More

These staff members can train and pass on their experience and skills to our new staff. This type of training is invaluable in ensuring the consistency... More

I have stayed here 4 times now for business - each time I vow to come back. Reception staff who go out of their way to make your stay as stress-free and comfortable as they can. Rooms are excellent and spotless, restaurant food great. Highly recommend!

Stayed for two nights - great accommodation, brilliant service and the surprise packet was the great food in Palms Restaurant. Cairns best kept secret in terms of quality food. I would recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Cairns and a tip is to have a least one meal in Palms Restaurant as it really is special. A credit to... More

Recently we stayed here for a weekend in Cairns. We asked the staff to keep our presence there confidential so that we would not be contacted by (social work) clients who might have guessed where we were. They were very supportive. Later in the same weekend, I got food poisoning (not their restaurant). Once again they were very helpful, offering... More

Decided to try somewhere different. Normally stay at Hilton or casino. This place is fantastic. Great pub next door. Free in house movies. Unfortunately no good movies on when we stayed but not a problem. Room was very clean. We had a lovely outlook from our third floor room. Buffet breakfast was excellent.

I had to stay two nights for work. First night the waitress was missing in action, I had to call out to the chef to order, and that's after she sat me down! Food wasn't anything special, the macadamia crusted barramundi was a crumbed, defrosted poor substitute. Water pressure in the shower is the best I've seen. Bed was comfy... More

We are currently refurbishing and unfortunately that day the lobby ceiling had just been painted, so I apologize for the strong smell of paint. It is one of those things where you are always going to upset someone. I am disturbed to read your comments about the staff member in the restaurant. The refurbishment is making it difficult for everyone... More
