This hotel is in a great location. Easy walk to shops and beach. The car parking is extra $$ and the car park was fairly full and very tight for a big car. The room was spacious. But, it has work being done to the outside of the building. We walked in to a view of a workman’s scaffolding and emergency stop button a motor and hanging tools and dustpan and brush. Very off putting!! We asked for a new room which they quickly and easily gave. The tv turned on by itself 3 times during the night and we could mostly hear the air con unit on the balcony. It had a fun view of surfas buildings and people below. And the bungee sling shot ride, was fun to watch, but it doesn’t close until 12am so screaming can be heard until then. We avoided the pool because it looked terrible. The staff were great, location great, but we wouldn’t stay here again.

We have stayed here many times over the years. The location is perfect which is the hotel's biggest plus. It is a really nice place, definitely not 5 star, but it is comfortable, well maintained, staff are excellent, the buffet breakfast is great and it is just a perfect place for a Surfers getaway. I highly recommend it.

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.
