Nothing Like the photos from the street
We booked this on Bookings.com to stay on 1/1/21 for one night. Drove up and down the street looking for the place. Once we found we only drove in the driveway and noticed the state of the property and contacted Bookings.com straight away and advised we would not be staying due to the quality of what we have seen. Whilst we did not go inside , we made our own decision based on what we saw we would not stay. The entrance is very untidy and to me personally who does a lot of travel for leisure and business first impressions is what I go off. Please check before you stay that what you are getting is what you have booked and paid for as some photos do not show the real product
You pay for what you get. Budget accommodation.
Great staff. Very friendly but lots of language barriers. Old Hotel in need of some fresh paint and fresh fittings. Bed was clean sheeted and comfortable enough. I had a shower and it did take a very long time for the hot water to come through. So turn on hot water and adjust the cold water into it, if you need hot water at all. When I walked through the room bare footed I was disappointed to get dirty feet. I don’t mind older fittings as it was budget, but being clean is another thing. I had to put my damp towel on the floor to wipe my feet on so I didn’t make the clean sheets dirty. Apart from this be aware that there is a train line about 8m from the side of the hotel. But as the trains don’t operate overnight I feel its not a problem. Can’t miss it when one does goes past. I think it added to the charm of the hotel anyway. Great curtesy bus return to the airport. Breakfast being included was also nice. These added touches might be important and at a budget price it was appreciated. Stop over was a layover between flights.
Crystal Garden Resort Restaurant,Cairnes,Australia
Nearer to airport and they provide free shuttle after 10am only. Included b’fast,price is quiet reasonable. b’fast is good. Room seems old but clean & mantained. Staffs are really helpful and overall it’s worth based on price. Was in 3days vacation in Cairnes abd staying was comfortable & nice.
Just the basics
If you seek nothing more than a bed and shower, then this is your go to place. It is certainly not a resort as the name claims and the restaurant could do with some customer service! As a family of four, we were comfortably accomodated.
A quick layover
Hotel approximately 8-10mins away from airport. There’s free airport transfer during the day (pls check with hotel) we traveled with 7mths old baby, they provided us a baby seat which was great. Quick check in. The resort is small, we were given a room mear the pool. The room was outdated but clean and comfy. One small problem of this resort was early morning/late evening there were trains passing by (v loud noise) Free hot breakfast provided. Overall was good for just a short stay.
