We moved here from the Holiday Inn which we had booked for 3 nights only to find ourselves on the 3rd floor, on the opposite side from the water & overlooking the dump bins of a costruction site.

I needed somewhere cheap to stay in Cairns as I was meeting up with family for a night. Selected the Cairns Plaza on price and location alone.

It's new name is called Cairns Plaza hotel. But the old name Tuna Tower is still on the building. We booked the hotel on the plaza hotel group site, AUD115/night for an ocean view suite. We stay in room 707 in April. Big suite with large living room with microwave, sink, fridge, dinning table and sofa bed, one bedroom, and... more

For the price, this was a very good deal. They have great views over the Esplanade, a restaurant, pool, and very good service! They rooms are spacious, with A/C (A MUST in tropical Cairns) and clean rooms. They even have a bathtub (a first for any hotel I stayed in during my 2 weeks in Australia.) Over all, a good... more
