It is accessible from the city

It is accessible from the city center, within a walking distance. Also the facilities are well kept. There's a consierge desk at the property, but only one staff was working there, so it took some time until my turn came. There was no explanation that I could use the gym at other Rydges property. I found that out too late. Other than that, it's a good place to stay for a couple of nights.

Comfortable room with large beds,

Comfortable room with large beds, nice timber furniture including a desk and clean modern bathroom. Has internet pcs in the lobby - $2 for 20 minutes. Loved the balcony view overlooking the swimming pool and palm trees in a garden setting. There are two entrances- one is opposite the esplanade on the Cairns foreshore - very convenient. Room service for meals was very prompt and the salad I ordered was delicious. The hotel is within easy walking distance of restaurants and the foreshore. The location is more attractive than many of the other hotels, as it's near the foreshore, which has mudflats and a boardwalk, if you want to go for a walk or a run. Other hotels are nearer the shopping centre, but this is not far from them - two or three blocks and I found it very quiet. It's a tropical climate, so keep the balcony door closed so the airconditioning works, or your clothes will get mouldy! I was there in June, which is the cooler time of year - very pleasant warm days.

Very happy with the room and facilities

Very happy with the room and facilities breakfast at Latitude was lovely. Very disappointed with the heavy music downstairs for a wedding, and the drunken behaviour and fights on the terrace. Otherwise thoroughly good.

I was impressed by the staff that assisted us, from checkin to checkout, to staff at breakfast and the lass who assisted me with using the computers. I dont think its just the amenities that make a good hotel, good, friendly and professional staff make it a great hotel and I have no hesitation in coming back to stay or recommend it to family and friends.I also thought it was a lovely room with view with excellent value from [this] website

You could not ask for a better position and facilities in Cairns. Right on the esplanade but away from the noise. Fantastic service. we ate at the little bar and resturant and the prices were cheaper than in town and the food fresh and tasty. we will go back for sure.

The hotel and location are ok,

The hotel and location are ok, but it would have to have the poorest menu I have encountered in a long time - just totally boring. Really needs some imagination. I would still stayu there, but would not dine there at lunch or evening.
