Great location adjacent to shopping centre, restaurants. Staff are friendly and responsive. Generally clean, although wasn’t spotless. Buffet Breakfast was great value. Balcony view was nice and on site amenities such as pool and tennis courts were handy.

We had some issues while checking in as the bathroom and lobby door had issues while closing. This was quickly addressed. Although i wanted to switch with another room but that option was not given to me. The location was perfect just at heart of surfers paradise. The breakfast was really good with loads of options. Special shoutout to Michael from concierge team who ensured our bags where delivered in our room and also helped us offload our bags during checkout.

Favourite since the 80’s
I have been staying at this property since the late 80’s (through 3 or 4 name changes) it has always been good. Staff are always lovely & helpful. I do think they need to remove carpet from the rooms which still have it, as it’s developing a musty smell. Other than that, this location is hard to beat for the price in surfers.

Over $200 for a room and couldn't even use the free wifi. It was so damn slow. Called the front desk and they told me to upgrade myself to Premium via the prompts when selecting the wifi. The room had been refurbished but I guess the designer hadnt stayed.there. The tap was so close to the edge of the sink that you couldn't wash your hands in the sink. All the water went over the back of the sink. Use a towel to dry your hands? Unfortunately no towel holders to leave your towel. And no free parking? At least the staff in The Restaurant were helpful and polite. I enjoyed the breakfast buffet there.

Some of the common areas are still under renovation but the upgrades in the rooms were amazing. The hotel rooms are clean and modern. Great location right by the beach and a grocery store in the basement. Walking distance to everything that you might need in Surfers Paradise.

Didn't get to have a shower in the room due to a "plumbing issue" they said would be fixed at midnight? There was a level to use the shower but that didn't feel right & I find unless you get all necessary facilities in the room you paid for them why bother at all

Great location and friendly staff. Hotel room did not have any plates, bowls, forks and knives for us to use. These should come provided in each room. We had to request from reception some plates which never arrived. In the end we bought our own cardboard plates and bowls. There was also no washing liquid for the two cups and mugs they did provide which made it hard to clean. No bin bag in the bin either which would have been useful.
