Pullman Cairns International

Pullman Cairns International

10/10 Excellent
"We returned to this establishment as I wanted to and needed to examine the antique Melodeon that I inspected on a previous visit. I needed to take some photos and measurements as I had another unit of a client that was needing a full restoration and would have even offered to buy the unit in the hotel however some staff remembered seeing it in the main hall but no one was able to remember where it had gone or why. The securing marks were still on the wall where the Melodeon was placed but now it is gone somewhere???????? Very disappointed......."
