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.

The hotel is an amazing part of surfers paradise, with all ammeneties at your doorstep, the downside is the hotel room itself. It looks clean but when you look closer the rlbedding is absolutely disgusting. Matress and matress protector had yello stains and for some reason there was a towel placed under the matress protector. The pillows were also yellow and discoloured. After we alerted the staff of this they then brought in all new pillows and a new matress even from another room i am assuming. Better to pay more money and stay somewhere where u know the cleanliness standard is high

Pool area was subpar. There is no service there as BBQ and other outdoor areas are under renovation, as well as facade of the hotels. That didn't bother us as much, as we had planty to di being in the heart of Surfers Paradise. Buffet breakfast was good enough and all and all we really enjoyed the stay.
