Excellent accommodation - everything we needed for our short stay.
Pros:

We love staying at the Colonial there every time we are in Cairns. We ask for the room that has a separate bedroom and ensuite which has a kitchenette, small table and chairs and a small sofa in the lounge. It is clean, so comfortable and makes our busy weekend so easy to manage.
