Great view of beach and Gold Coast high rise buildings from our room on level 29. Good staff service, comfy bed and great body lotion in the bathroom. The pool was nice and warm but some renovating going on outside. Very busy hotel and can wait 15 mins to get a lift down to breakfast. We enjoyed our stay.

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.

Great place to stay, great pool and location. Pity about the pool being shut in the morning and not being told that it was shut every weekday until 4pm. Otherwise a good stay, and value for money.
