The Quality Hotel at Mermaid Waters is quite a nice hotel. The location is not ideal if you are looking to be in the thick of things in Surfers Paradise, or close to the cafes and restaurants of Broadbeach (although it is only a few minutes drive to Broadbeach). If you are looking for somewhere that is quiet, clean with well-appointed rooms then this is a good place.
The bed we had was slightly on the harder side, which was not a big problem for us, but if you prefer a softer bed it could be.
The only major issue we had was with the woeful breakfasts that are offered up. This is definitely not a 'quality' offering. I took the discounted breakfast rate offered up on check-in and regretted it. My advice would be to not take it up and go across the road to the Easy House Vegetarian Restaurant for some fantastic Yum-Cha... And I am not a vegetarian!
If the price was right and I had another occasion to travel to the Gold Coast I would stay at the Quality Hotel again... I would just skip on purchasing the breakfast.
