It was an emergency booking owing to my flight from Papua New Guinea being delayed by many hours, thus had to make a last-minute booking for accommodation, while still in PNG and opted for Cairns City Sheridan Motel.
When I arrived at the motel after 11:00pm, the key to the room had been left in a night safe but unfortunately, it was the wrong key, and I couldn't enter the room. So, I called the manager who was not onsite at the hotel but some distance away...
No problem - she immediately set off back to the hotel to give me the correct key for the booked room.
She was very apologetic and most helpful so, the frustration I was feeling about the blunder was quickly alleviated by her prompt and professional action, which ultimately made my brief stay that Friday evening a very pleasant one.
The room had everything - more than I expected in terms of facilities. It was also a very clean & tidy, spacious room which also had a cute little balcony, complete with outdoor table and chairs.
