After completing a packaged tour, I needed a reasonably priced and convenient accommodation in Carins before an early bus, so chose Hides as it was close to Cairns Railway Station.
My checkin experience was soured slightly as the reception would not accept "tap and go" cards for the deposit, unlike all other hotels.
Once I got into the room, I was quite impressed with the facilities, especially with the bed side lamps with in-built USB charging,
The room itself was spacious and comfortable, more than acceptable for an overnight stay.
The location is convenient to shopping and cafes in the city.
Overall would stay again.
