Doubletree By Hilton Cairns
$115-200/ noć
Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want a prime Esplanade location with ocean views and a fantastic pool, but don't mind slightly dated room interiors.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- Prime Esplanade waterfront location
- Warm DoubleTree cookie on arrival
- Excellent breakfast buffet with an omelette station
Brzi pregled: It's a solid, well-located base camp with great staff and a beautiful pool, but the rooms are showing their age with worn carpets and dated decor.
Pregledano od @saltwaternomad: We stayed here before our drive to Port Douglas and it was so relaxing. The king bed was huge, the breakfast buffet had everything I craved, and the giant atrium with the fish pond was such a cool surprise. Plus, you can't beat the warm cookie at check-in!

Čistoća i održavanje

- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. While many find rooms tidy, multiple guests report hair left in showers, dust, and missed spots during daily cleaning.
- Bathroom hygiene: Hit or miss. Some newly renovated showers are great, but older bathrooms have complaints of musty smells, mold, and hair on walls.
- Maintenance: The property is showing its age. Guests note worn carpets, drab brown decor, squeaky doors, and loud, struggling AC units.
- Linens & towels: Beds are generally comfortable, but several reviews mention receiving towels with holes, fraying edges, or stains.
- Odors & scents: Tropical humidity takes a toll—some guests report a distinct musty or damp mold smell in the older rooms and hallways.
