Book a Hotel near Gold Coast Turf Club, Gold Coast

We enjoyed our stay, however I was a little disappointed with the overall cleanliness and condition of the facilities. The whole resort is in need of an upgrade as everything is looking worn and dated, for the price you pay. Bathrooms need a good scrub. Facilities and activities are great, plenty to do and the kids loved our time there. Location is great, close to beach, shopping, cafes and Seaworld is only a 15 minute bus ride away. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent stay with reasonable price and friendly staff :-)

For some reason, the lady who makes up the room did a bad job the first day. I spoke to the front desk and they sent up Linda who took care of it and apologized profusely. The next day though it was not done properly again. From then on, Linda took care of it every day; I was there for 6 nights. Other than that, its a fine hotel great location and good price. Travelocity.com did show that they had Lobby Wifi complimentary, but its not. There is a charge everywhere. The staff is top notch except for the person who did my room. Friendly and caring and always professional. Love the accents :-).

My stay at the Surfer's Paradise Marriott was great!. I had a refurbished room. I do not know what the old ones look like, but if they are still under construction when you will be staying there, make sure to ask for a refurbished room (eventually all rooms will be done). They have a great pool area (which they are redoing so it should be even better) and the beach is only a 5 minute walk east from the hotel. Maybe not even 5 minutes. I had the best housekeeper, her name was Margie. She was absolutely awesome!!! The first day I was there I saw her and told her a couple of things I needed like extra towels, extra sugar for coffee and extra hair conditioner and sure enough, everyday, she made sure I had those extra requests. They must take note because even when she wasn't there, the other housekeeping staff still filled those requests. The rooms are clean, even under the beds and behind the tables/nightstands. The Marriott took care of my every request, including having room service pop some microwave popcorn that I had bought since there are no microwaves in the room. (no charge). Internet service is free if you are a Marriott's Reward Member. They offered to sign me up at the hotel so I could get free Wi-Fi. I appreciated that they didn't just charge me but offered this option to me when I called to ask about the price. They are currently doing some construction on the hotel, if you can, wait until it is finished. I think the hotel will be even better. Other pluses, big closets, tennis courts, laundry room (kind of pricey but convenient), Americanized bathrooms, game room, child care and 24 hr room service. I got a great deal but may be a bit expensive without one. Well worth it. I stayed for 10 days. BAD POINTS: One of the housekeeping not as good as the rest. I came back to my room after it was made up but housekeeping hadn't vacuumed. I just asked the evening turn down housekeeper to take care of it and she did it right away. Point 2: It is a little further from everything except the beach. About a good 10-15 minute walk to town.

Good location-no problems, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and Cracker Barrel are close

Stayed for 1 night after a concert. Lots of taxi activity around, useful for getting to/from airport. Rooms was nice, if a little plain/basic. Restaurants had limited sitting times (could seat us at 8pm, even though there was room and we said we'd be out by 9), which struck us as a little restrictive, but overall the hotel is a good stay if you can get it cheaper than surrounding ones.
