Although our room was beach view, could not see the beach from the room , unless your sitting in the corner of the balcony. If you like hearing loud aircon noises over the beach, this place is for you. Needes to keep the door closed at all times as it was so loud! Air con vents need to be cleaned and its very dusty& dirty. Overall, great location.

Bed on wheels so when you say on it the bed ended up on the either side of the room. The phone didn't work in the room and when I told the reception they said someone would fix it. No one did. Lipstick on the coffee mugs in the room, so these had not be cleaned. People next door smoking on balcony. Was ignored for 10 mins at the bar area when I wanted to get something.

There was a delay of almost an hour in checking in as our room wasn't ready at 2pm. They did give us a room with 3 beds which was appreciated. The view was spectacular and couldn't be faulted. The room was pretty dated and had knocks to the paint, the sliding door to the balcony could have used some wd40 to slide easier and there was the top of a strawberry dried out and left on the floor. Bath was stained with something black, like someone had maybe let black hair dye sit after washing it out. Sheets were clean and felt amazing. Room service was great, prices very reasonable but some of the items were cold by the time they got to the room. Very disappointed that I couldn't get a cocktail delivered to my room though. Parking was an absolute nightmare though because it is shared with other businesses around the hotel and you have to walk a fair distance with luggage in the underground parking to get to the lobby of the hotel. Overall, the view is what we came for and the location is central to everything. It was so relaxing to get away and we had a great stay despite the couple of things I mentioned. We would come back for another stay

It was a great stay in the heart of everything surfer’s paradise has to offer. Staff were friendly and helpful. Was directed to use the pool at a nearby hotel as the pool area was undergoing construction. Our room was clean and spacious and the bed was comfortable. Overall it was a good stay and we will stay here again in the future should we come back to the Gold Coast

The pool area was good, towels laid out every morning, very fortunate it was open during our one week stay (sometimes closed due to renovation). All in all it was a great stay, close to all amenities. We had a high floor, so it was quiet when door was closed. We couldn’t rate breakfast as we don’t have it. Staff was helpful and polite. Good coffee down stairs. Will definitely stay again.

Location is very good with all amenities within few mins walk, breakfast is very good with lots of options including for kids & vegetarians. Hotel itself is quite tired & old and currently under renovations. Room we stayed in was ok but bathroom is very tiny with no much room. however, house keeping was very good, beds made daily, rubbish removed and towels replaced without having to ask for any of these.
