I stayed there with a friend, and the large lady who I think is the janitor went through our private stuff. Please don't stay here away from this Karen.

Value for money. Good place if you just want somewhere to lay your head. Has toaster, kettle, microwave, iron, couch, desk, bar fridge, small kitchenette. Great bathroom: good water pressure, airy & spacious. Has been tastefully done, simple, clean. Does have 1 flight of stairs to climb, no off street parking, no balcony. Basic but clean & great location.

So first I’d like to say I regret not reading the reviews before booking, I could of saved myself from a horrible experience. Arriving at a dingy car rental to collect keys for our room was just the start, we then entered the 34 degree hot box (Maybe consider turning on the aircon for the arrival of guests). My sister then went to use the bathroom, returning with a bruised leg from the toilet which clearly had the wrong size seat unattached sitting on the rim. After a long flight I was looking forward to having a shower, only to discover all the towels had yellow stains GROSS. So by this point it’s obvious the whole place is a complete joke for $135, lucky we were only staying one night! As we were checking out I told the lady behind the counter (assuming she is the owner as no employee would behave in such a way) about the issues with the room. (From the dead cockroach in the doorway, partially working aircon, excessively loud ticking in fan to the stained linen) she was obviously not taken to hearing any sort of complaint about her establishment. I mentioned I would be leaving a review and she quickly offered me a $20 refund. When I told her it was still a disappointing experience she revoked her offer of a refund and yelled at me to not get angry with her. We left feeling quite upset for it to only get unimaginable worse! As my sister closed the rickety old door behind us, the woman followed us out screaming at my sister that she had just broken the door(she hadn’t), And then continued to yell at us down the street as we walked away that the toilet was likely broken by us having “Boom boom boom” *whilst thrusting her body madly. At this point I’d like to mention we were only in cairns for that day to attend our dearly departed fathers funeral, so already an emotional and stressful experience to then have to deal with the most unprofessional and inappropriate behaviour from our accommodation host was just added baggage we didn’t need. Needless to say if I could leave a zero star review I would!

Room 1 of Escape on Lake is infested with ants and management is impossible to reach. Room 1 has a huge infestation of little ants that come through the AC unit. We didn’t notice ants at first until the maid shut off our AC as she always does after cleaning a room. When we returned, we saw a whole line of little ants crawling down the wall from the AC to along the bottom edge of the entire room. The maid used ant spray two days ago and it worked for a day, but this is the second reoccurrence of the ants and it was a hugely disappointing way to return to the hotel to relax after an amazing day at the barrier reef. This hotel would have been fine if the management was more responding and caring, and of course if there were no ants. Also, the worse thing is the management never apologized for this happening to us, and hasn’t offered any form of compensation for ruining our trip with such horrible conditions of the room.
