Close to function we were attending

Carmelina · AU · 2026-07-25

Good location

7.0

Our room was on the same floor as the laundry which was handy.

The hotel and finishes were quite basic, not as polished as the photos indicated. The hotel restaurant was closed both days we were there (Monday/Tuesday) apart from serving buffet breakfast which was surprising given the amount of people in Cairms. Our room overlooked the roof of the restaurant despite having a "pool view".
