I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the one hand, the spacious rooms were quite comfortable and the friendly staff tried their best to assist me. However, the overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired, and I faced significant issues during my stay, especially with the service and some amenities. The value for money was good, but I wouldn’t recommend this place without considering its shortcomings.

7.2/10

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, especially considering the budget-friendly pricing. The rooms were spacious and the kitchen area was a nice touch. However, the property shows signs of age with some things needing repair, and the pool area could use more loungers. Overall, it’s a decent option if you're looking for value for money and don’t mind an older building.

My experience at this hotel was quite disappointing. While I appreciated the convenience of being close to the beach and the central location, the overall state of the facilities and the service left much to be desired. The rooms were not as clean or comfortable as I had hoped, and I found myself facing a few too many inconveniences during my stay that made it hard to enjoy my time here.

The room was rather run-down and not feeling clean or comfortable at all. It had a kitchenette, but the overall condition was unimpressive with dirty edges and old curtains. Rating: 4/10

Service

I had a frustrating experience with the service, particularly with staffing and unexpected additional charges, making my stay feel less welcoming. Rating: 3/10

The hotel is in a great spot near the beach, but it's surrounded by some rougher areas of Surfers Paradise, which detracts a bit from the experience. Rating: 7/10
