I would recommend this motel for a short stay, we stayed for a night while traveling, it is quite far from downtown, but the price was excellent and very confy The down side for us was the common pool area, maybe for someone it would be nice and a plus, but for us was an unpleaseant, since some people arrived...

After a disasterous booking at a different budget place, a friend recommended we try the Cairns New Chalon as an alternative, and I'm so glad we did! As far as Value for Money- this topped it. Simple, exceptionally clean, friendly day staff, a marvelous pool and a great nights sleep, and a buch of shops a short stroll away for... More

We had a great check-in process, the lady on the counter was lovely :) The room itself was clean, comfortable and perfectly adequate for our needs. The bed was comfy and the linen was of a good grade and quality. For the price this hotel is a great deal. Granted it is a little was out of the main CDB... More

The room was what you would expect for the price. The desk staff were helpful. We were promised continental breakfast but cereal and toast isn,t my idea of continental breakfast. We used the local bus often but next time would stay closer to town. Also the restaurant wasn,t open at all.

We booked this hotel through Expedia. The website described it as a clean and nice hotel. That was not true. When we got there our room was filled with lots of small ants, running up and down the walls. The ants were everywhere, also in the bathroom and in the bed. We complained and they showed us several other rooms.... More

Ok room. Clean and tidy bathroom a bit shabby but not to bad. Bed was comfy; pools was nice and clean with vending machines and a bar close to hand. Was a mission to get into town had to get the shuttle bus which was ok on timing. But was a pain in the bottom. Would try and get closer... More

Rooms had some issues with bugs - mine was ants. No mini bar - which indicates a much lower star rating. Good value for money though as it was inexpensive. Location and distance from the town centre could be a problem but taxis were available. Food in the restaurant was fresh and of good quality if not variety - seafood... More

We just got back from a three night stay at this hotel in February, 2008. We also thought this hotel was close to downtown, but it truly was in the middle of nowhere. Although the hotel is supposed to have a shuttle bus downtown for $5 per person, the schedule was seriously out of date. We waited for the shuttle... More

Yes- Expedia said it was 4-stars. That was ridiculous. We stayed two nights, and asked to move rooms because of the roaches. There is a sign in each room saying that they "try their best to keep the room free of bugs, but it is a tropical environment." Seriously?!? That sounds like an excuse, as I've been in bug-free rooms... More
