Studio room
Pros:

For 1 person or 2 at most, it is large enough .
Great view of the harbour and the warm sun wakes you at dawn.

Cons:

This is really the only negative. The water pressure (hot) is problematic, to say the least

Pros:

Travelled for Ironman Cairns. Location was perfect for all our needs. The room was nice and although it said Garden view. We were happy and surprised we were able to see some water and mountains aswell. Parking was easier too.
Needless to say we have already booked for Ironman Cairns next year.

Cons:

Not complaining and no biggy. But the TV in the bedroom was broken.
