Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre

Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre

8/10 Good
"The room is a bit dated but a nice size and was clean, bed small but comfortable - lovely balcony but a bit noisy during the night. Shower over the bath is poor and splashes water everywhere but water temp and pressure is good. Easy walking distance to town and location is okay and we felt safe. Parking is very tight and limited"
