I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although with better views and ready early for check-in, were not as clean as expected, with some remnants left from the previous guest. On the bright side, the location is fantastic, just across from Coles, making it convenient for exploring Gold Coast.

The hotel has a convenient central location, close to dining options and with easy access to a car park. The rooms had a horrible damp smell and were noisy due to ongoing work in the building.

The hotel rooms were not cleaned properly with bottle caps left on the floor, stains from drinks, and the bed not made well. Additionally, the room was overly bright due to a frosted window near the sink and bathroom, which became very bright as the sun rose. The service, however, was impressive with friendly and helpful staff from cleaning to management. The location was excellent, offering close proximity to local attractions.
