Have stayed here many times with work and pleasure.
Stayed again recently on a Saturday night for $79 per room.
Off the main strips so nice and quiet.
Bus companies stay here with seniors and would not do so if it was
not a good place to stay.
Security gates for parking.
Happy to recommend.

very good rooms, decent location away from all the hustle and bustle. The hotel shuttle is awesome, very friendly helpful driver. He was probably the highlight of this hotel along with the decent rooms. I have to say reception was not that good. They lack the knowledge and was rude, made us wait, did not offer the special buffet discount which was available at the time. Overall good place to stay

LOCATION:
It's on a major, but quiet road back from the beach - within jogging distance if you like that. It's in a quiet, low-level residential area that's quite convenient. The location is about 5-10 minutes south of the main Surfers Paradise beach, but north of Nobby's beach, Miami and Burleigh Heads.

A small restaurant block is opposite the hotel, a Dan Murphys liquor outlet is right beside it, and a larger shopping centre is 5 minutes up Markeri St. The hotel also runs a free shuttle service to major destinations throughout the day, which is a good addition.

Temperatures in mid-July were in the low 20s (21-23) so good weather for getting around, though not so warm in the water.

FRONT OF HOUSE SERVICE:
The staff there were efficient, and constantly available. Everything was organised smoothly, and a lounge area is situated beside the desk if you need to wait for a shuttle/someone else.

Staff were all pleasant to deal with.

ROOMS:
The rooms are motel standard (see picture) over three levels, either facing the parking on the outer perimeter of the hotel, or the internal pool/lounge area. While not tall, the hotel is fairly spread out, with lifts and stairs at the end of a corridor, then rooms spread out from that hub.

As shown, for the two beds one was made as a king bed (but made of two joined together so has the split in the middle), and one was a fold-out, which is inferior to those they picture. A nice LCD television with some cable channels was well placed. There was also a desk, a chair, bar fridge, bedside tables and a cupboard with iron.

The bathroom had a shower and bath, plus vanity and toilet. The shower head was an adequate height, though old and leaked backwards, and not a water saver type so didn't spray well. Toiletries including nice soap, shampoo, conditioner and moisturiser were provided.

Oddly, a welcome letter mentioned that you could save changing the bed linen by leaving a card from the bedside table on the pillow, yet no card was provided.

AMENITIES:
The outdoor swimming pool was not heated so not ready to be used. It had a small rock waterfall feature, and the surrounding gardens were nice when weather was good.

Free parking was included in a secure area on the outside of the building.

DINING: A restaurant with dining room was attached, with a bar and other facilities. It's somewhat like the local pub with much parking out the front, and turned out to be booked out the first night we were there. I guess there's always room service!

On check-in the staff offered a breakfast deal if you paid on the spot at $25/person/day. Regular breakfast will cost $32/person/day, so fairly pricey. Not a lot of commercial alternatives nearby, but you could wait until you get to Surfers or wherever you're going if you want something else.

OVERALL:
A pleasant experience, with fairly nice facilities, though the shower head and mix-up with the washing notice suggest it could do more for the environment. There are better located places if you just want somewhere convenient for a quick trip to Surfer's but if you've been before and want somewhere quieter yet still convenient, it's still worthwhile considering.

Stayed in January 2010 so prices were extremely high as it was peak season ($143 per night). The hotel was not worth this price, the location is poor (you need a car) the whole hotel inclduing thre lift, the pool and the rooms are outdated. The breakfast is overpiced and we did not have our room serviced in the 3 days we were there. The good thing about the hotel is the secure parking and it seemed quite clean. Overall after reading reviews I expected it to nicer then it was (maybe the people that gave good reviews didnt pay $143 a night)
