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!

Awful!
We stayed one night and it was one night too many. The only pleasant part of the stay was the warm welcome by the really lovely lady on the front desk. We booked a family room and it looked nothing at all like the photos. The TV didn't work, all the furniture was old and run down. The cockroaches and other wildlife in the room were gross and it all needed a good clean. Worst of all were the beds, all of them rock hard. My 6ft hubby gave up and spent most of the night squished on a 2 seater couch trying to sleep as it was more comfortable than the bed. We all only managed a few hours sleep each. Do yourself a favour and just pass on this one.

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.

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.
