Certainly not worthy of the negative reviews. We had a quiet (not even road noise) and comfortable stay. Great having a microwave and plates as well. Will stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at Motel Nomad! We are a couple of Scots in Cairns looking to buy a van and we booked here to give us a place to stay. Little did we know that this would be the best decision we made as we were surrounded by locals, with their hands on their hearts, who welcomed us like family. There is a pool and a shopping center round the corner which makes it very accessible. The motel is a bit out of the centre but very well connected to buses (10min from esplanade), for us it was ideal as close to a lot of outlet shops to kit out our van. We highly recommend travellers to book this motel as you get a true feel to the friendly nature of cairns. There's a tasty coffee shop next door (Koffeez) and a tasty thai restaurant attached to the motel. Brilliant stay!

Stayed 2 nights. The room was very clean and comfortable and larger than expected. Had little interaction with the staff but they were pleasant. DFO Complex down the road with Coles, cafes and retail shops. Cazaly's Sports club in the other direction and both walking distance. Lots of families with kids i the pool but no noise issues from where I was staying. Will stay again and I do recommend.

Service was great very accommodating. Room could do with new doors. Bathroom has mould. Hard to avoid smokers smoking right out side their room. Smell was horrible for a non-smoker.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Tv not working, rundown bathroom, poor outside noise insulation (birds chirping all night and people walking past). Permanents give it the slum vibe. Comfy bed.

Karren

The pool looked dirty and not inviting. Very aged and basic Interior, pillows very flat, but mattress comfortable,noisy neighbours in the next room, who smoked outside and spoke on speaker phone for over 30 minutes at 6am, which is out of the motel’s control, but asked to reflect on my experience. I actually felt unsafe at night and jammed the chair under the door knob. Seemed to be a lot of smoking men on the balcony watching, which freaked me out as I was alone. Close and very convenient location for where I needed to be for three days and I guess you get what you pay for.
