Staff was lovely, short walk to muddys playground and cafe. Rooms were outdated, bathroom was from 80’s and the balcony felt like it was going to fall off. Kids refused to swim in the pool after one time cause it was so dirty.

Feel like I needed 3.5 stars for rating. Property is on outskirts of Cairns in terms of distance to CBD its a good 10 min walk depending on your fitness. Feel we overpaid for quality of hotel as room and facilities are tired in places. If our room is a good example then the hotel is in need if some refurbishment as fittings were tired. We witnessed a man break a deck board by the pool (as it is also tired). He just stood on it. This was promptly - day after, repaired but tells you condition. Etc etc. However upside is good staff, breakfast was good, small but functional gym with good equipment and couple of pool options (but a bit tired) Car parking is NOT included in price it's $15 per day. You can park on the road outside for free at your risk. Bar wise there is one and it offers happy hour drinks 4-6pm. There is a small shop onsite

OMG!
The hotel is no better than a mediocre Western Star motel. The floor i stayed on had an old look and musky smell. The room was tiny and extremely basic with minimal facilities. In room dining was a joke and the menus were old and dirty looking. The TV was tiny, with minimal channels . Crystallbrooke leave this museum for dead and for less or the same money. Terrible, look somewhere else.
