Cairns New Chalon

Simple but very comfortable place

I needed an affordable place in Cairns to do some work. This was a cheap motel-like hotel that had a very comfortable, renovated, modern room, with solid wifi (unlike other motel-like places, they have full wifi as opposed to just two-hour vouchers you need to keep asking for more). It was pretty quiet. It's a 15-minute drive from town, so you need a car or use Uber. There are a few restaurants around, though, if you just need to grab a meal.

The place seemed to be going through renovation so there was some unsightly stuff around the common areas (equipment etc). But the room was great.
