The hotel's room cleanliness and comfort left much to be desired, with issues like sand in the bed and a safety pin in the bedding. However, the staff were friendly and helpful, with great facilities on-site. The location was convenient, although parking was challenging at times. The dining experience could have been better, with some disappointing aspects.

The hotel is a mixed bag with its pros and cons. While the location is excellent, right in the heart of Surfers Paradise with easy access to amenities, the rooms are outdated and dark. The service is top-notch, especially the helpful concierge, but some minor issues like the lack of hooks in the bathroom can be bothersome. The dining options may not cater well to all dietary needs, and the facilities are average.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were great and worth the price, offering a luxurious feel with a stunning view of Cavill's main strip and the beach. However, the constant noise from the nearby Sling Shot ride took some getting used to. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff willing to assist, although having to repeatedly request the King bed to be split into singles was a letdown. The location was fantastic, right in Cavill and near the tram line, providing easy access to everything in Surfers Paradise. Dining was a bit of a letdown due to overcrowding and lack of staff, but the hotel made up for it with indulgent pastries. Overall, a stay with some highs and lows.

The hotel is a mixed bag: the rooms are not soundproofed, somewhat old and not the cleanest, but they are at least restocked with toiletries and coffee daily. The service was efficient and catered to all our needs, although some staff members felt a bit distant. The location is fantastic, convenient for activities and shopping, but lacks proper upkeep in some areas. The dining options vary from great variety at breakfast to overpriced and inedible dishes.
