Room was ok. I ordered Room service for dinner and the burger I ordered arrived raw. There was no previous mention about the noise - I could hear/feel the bass from local nightclubs all the way up into the early hours of the morning even on floor 29. As this was a work visit I really needed quality sleep, which I was not allowed. Had I had known, I would have booked elsewhere. Staff were super friendly and location is good if you’re looking to be central to all the action of Surfers Paradise.

Having stayed for 3 days in room 2208 which was good i had to move for my further two day stay to room 3115. The difference was remarkable. Room 3115; the safe didnt work, the balcony door catch was broke , the curtains were hanging off their hooks , the floor had not been washed as there was sand underfoot wherever i walked. The toilet seat in the bathroom did not fit correctly, in general the room needed a total refurb...very disappointing. Martin on reception was extremely helpful , advising me of places to visit not mentioned in the guide book. David on concierge duty was also very helpful especially with my room move. Whilst he was unable to comment he understood my disappointment. If room 3115 had been my first experience i would definitely not have extended my stay.

Room clean, great location right in the heart of Sufers paradise. Pool area could be better, no bar and the need to go from the 5th to the ground floor to get a drink or snack isn't brilliant especially as it's through a child proof gate, door key access controlled door, and doorkey access controlled lift, is a poor customer experience and difficult carrying even two schooners. Bathroom not brilliant, bit tired. Breakfast pretty good, but doesn't open til 6.30 am, which is like 7.30 if you're heading to Sydney or the central coast that day on an early start.

The room view was first class! Found the shower a complete pain in the butt as the track cannot stop the water flowing onto the bathroom floor. Staff pleasant when engaged but generally look morose and like they would rather be anywhere else, a general low energy vibe. Took three requests over four days to fix an issue with the TV coming on randomly during the night and waking us up. Good comms re the renovation and the tradies on site where the friendliest people around.

Staff were courteous, would be helpful if there was a toilet brush, overall the rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Fridge was quite loud when trying to sleep and didn’t seem to be a hand towel, a hook near basin would be good for washing and drying hands. Great location easy walk to restaurants and beach. Would recommend and rebook
