Jeff, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Liked the location and proximity to sights and city centre. Room was very clean,modern and spacious. Didn't like the noise levels as the room faced the main road.
Rohit, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is close to everything on a very busy road but the noise was not heard from the apartment
GARY, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Went there with my partner, was well located in Cairns. Grocery, chemist and many restaurants and shops near. The kitchen utensils were well appreciated to prepare our lunch (no oven). Comfy bed and well maintened. 10/10.
Antoine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great little spot to stay for a couple of days, two streets back from the esplanade. Was clean and tidy, could have had a small frypan for cooking did have a microwave, toaster and a jug. Fry pan would of been handy.
Colleen, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

I flew into Cairns a few days early before joining a tour group. While Escape On Lake is small compared to the more notable accommodation, it is good value. Checkin was easy, and despite missed messages by both myself and the hotel, they had the room ready by lunchtime. Very welcoming after an early morning flight! The room was spacious with good facilities including a microwave for basic cooking needs. The main city centre of Cairns is one block down the street, so quite easy to walk around exploring then back to the hotel. All in all, good value
Michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good

Almost everything to recommend about staying here. Very clean and spacious rooms. Quiet and easily accessible. My feedback is to have the number of towels and extra blankets for each guest. A hand towel would have been appreciated and used. Booked 2 rooms. One had AC you could only turn down to 21 degrees but the other room could be set cooler for sleeping. Extra keys are needed when you are a family of adults coming in and out at different times. Great location and responsive hosts. Great value all over.
Susan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Property access after hours average in wet weather and no lighting. Steps and stairs very steep with high step up made carrying luggage difficult. Very basic inclusions.
Geoffrey, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Yes many shops
Farah, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

夜は治安が悪いので、ホテルの周りを歩かない方が良い。
KENJI, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was visiting Cairns by myself so I liked the fact that there were only 5 units and they were in a secure building. Unfortunately the bed was not comfortable, a simple bed topper might help ? Also the housekeeping was only average. I loved the location, it was quiet and could walk to the beach, the shops, and the bus stop.
Kerry, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Helpful and nice staff'. The hotel is close to all facilities as marina, restaurants, aquarium, and stores Easy parking
Robert, 13-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Place was exactly as described, daily servicing went beyond expectation and is in an excellent central position.
Kylie Maree, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice place just off of the main drag with easy walking to everything
Korey, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

There is no off street parking and street parking was 3 hour only paid
David, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

I come to Cairns often. Rooms are neat and tidy and spacious. Lake Street has some unsavoury folk and was awoken to some yelling matches in the middle of the night but can’t blame the accommodation for that.
