It was a nice experience staying at Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns. Good city location, everything nearby. I also bought paid parking for $15 per night, and it was smooth as. They also have $10 credit that you can use at the restaurant on food or beverage if you choose not to use room-service. There was a little misunderstanding at the time of checking-in, but Gigi and Evelyn were helpful at the time of checking out and sorted things out.

The property although excellent value for our ten day stay was a little tired and dated. Not much need be done to bring the hotel up to a better standard that people would be pleased to pay more for. Did not eat in the restaurant buy enjoyed happy hour on a few days. It should be made clearer that the bonus you get for not having the room serviced on a daily basis is actually claimable in food and drink on a daily basis and not simply credited to you account
