Not for me
The accommodation itself was fine, however the all night until 4am screaming and running up and down the hallway and stairs by others was unacceptable, if there was an onsite manager they declined to address the issue.

Very noisy late at night- not sure if guests or visitors were causing the noise dragging tables and chairs around, arguing and swearing until another guest yelled at them to be quiet. Stayed here a few times before and not had this problem.

Good value for money and convenient location...
I stayed at the Adobe Motel for six nights recently. My stay was agreeable and comfortable.
The after-hours arrival arrangement worked flawlessly, the room was noticeably clean, it was comfortable enough, motel staff were welcoming and helpful, wi-fi was reliable after logged on, location is convenient for walking around Cairns, and quiet enough to sleep okay at night. It was good value for money, and I recommend this motel if stopping at Cairns.

Not a nice hotel, very out dated, not very clean, paint peeling off the walls. The floor is dusty, as if it hadn't been moped.
The place is quite noisy. Won't be back.

Do not stay here
Ray is not interested.
1. The place is filthy. Dust and dirt all over skirting boards, power points, power switches.
2. No blankets are supplied.
3. Air conditioner doesnt work cannot operate panel.
4. Stains all over the walls and doors, like someone has splashed tea or drinks on the walls
5. Window doesn't have a lock
6. People down the verandah were up with kids screaming until 3.30am
7. The rubbish man turned up at 5.30am and dragged the plastic skip down the narrow driveway and back, waking everyone one
8. There is only about 6 car parks or park out on the road.
9. The drive way is so narrow you have to reverse down the driveway
10. NO HOT WATER in the shower or the sink
11. Fridge was dirty
12. Only 2 cups with teaspoons sitting on top of them supplied
13. No microwave available.
Just a filthy grubby place.

Hotle is fine for an over night stop. Bit out of the city but close if you want to walk, wouldn't want to walk at night though. There is a night owl and few cafes on the next block. The hotel was dirty, my towel had a mark and the pillow had some sort of stain. The internet is good.

Two problems: 1) no wifi; 2) Manager had no record of WOTIF booking made approx. 3 hours prior to my call to confirm, as a consequence I made another booking with c/card and ended up being billed twice. I am awaiting a refund but there seems to be a communication problem between WOTIF and management.

Adobe stay
Nice comfy room. I arrived after hours but I had easy access to the safe to retrieve the key. Parking is not really good there especially with a 4x4. So I used the parking strip on Sheridan Road which is ok. Internet access is a great bonus

Return guests. Good, clean motel.
Room was lovely and cool when we arrived.....so different from most places where the room takes ages to cool after being closed and super heated by Cairns hot summers. Beds are comfy and everything was clean and crisp. Friendly staff....could not ask for more.

Down to earth, and honest accommodation
The Abode Motel is an honest accommodation that delivers more than you expect. Staff went above and beyond, amazing to chat with and give recommendations. I had to arrive a lot earlier than expected and they were very accommodating, ensuring a room was well cleaned and cooled down on short notice. The rooms are older, but the linen and towels were clean, crisp and comfortable.
