Our twin suit was great! Very comfortable beds and spacious layout. The hot tub was chilly and when I spoke to the front desk the manager said it was in fine working order so perhaps we were mistaken. Our vehicle did not fit in the parking but the parking garage around the corner was great and cheaper. Overall great room but pool and hot tub require maintenance.

The room was spacious and newly renovated, the location was convenient, within walking distance to all the shops and the beach, nice pub downstairs. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only downside is that it can be noisy till midnight, but that has to be expected from the location, so I'm still giving it 5 stars.

There was dirty tissues on the bathroom floor and bathroom wasn’t very clean overall, shower cap over smoke detector rendering it useless, awful smelling bedding with a sweat/BO stench making me question if they were changed after the previous guest and the balcony doors don’t lock leaving me feeling very unsafe , overall very unclean and unsafe room.

Right in the heart of Surfer’s Paradise. Clean, spacious room, modern bathroom and layout. Nice size balcony. Well priced. Parked in the public carpark behind the hotel for a good price. Will definitely consider staying again. Just waiting to get my bond back.

Completely inflexible

Booked on a Monday for a work trip Thursday that week, plans got changed on Tuesday so rang to see if I could push the booking by a week and they said no because it wasn't within the 7 day cancellation period despite only booking less than 24 hours earlier. Kept entire amount of money paid, not just a percentage. Money gone from my small business who had to change plans, would not recommend after this.

Entrance and parking should be described for easy check in. Staff were lovely however it's concerning that other people experienced checking into rooms that had not been cleaned and serviced prior to check-in like we did. Staff were attentive and lovely and dealt with this quickly and professionally.

I think the property have done a good job at a fit out of a very old iconic building. It would appeal to a younger audience than us. I still found it a bit grungy for my liking with drunk people everywhere and 4x cans in the lobby near the lifts etc. In saying that when we got into the room it was lovely. Bathroom needed a deep clean it was a bit grubby but we appreciated some nice generous touches like snacks and plenty of milk and good quality body wash etc. Bed was comfortable and even though we were right in Surfers Paradise it was not too noisy. Appreciated the upgrade too. No doubt they thought us oldies needed to be kept out of the way :)
