We had a wonderful stay at The Benson. The rooms have been renovated & look exactly like the website photos. Rooms are serviced everyday and are fitted with a microwave, kettle, plates, cutlery, mugs & glasses for four people. Ample storage for bags as well. The pool is huge & very deep (2.1m), pool noodles & towels are supplied. Late arvo, the pool is not in direct sun. The laundry (washer & dryer) is also located on level 4. Rusty’s market is directly opposite (Fri-Sun) and lots of coffee shops & eateries located at The Bensons door step. Both Cairns Central shopping centre & Cairns Esplanade are within easy walking distance from the hotel.
