Booked a private tour with Trip.com this time, and the hotel was recommended by their customer service. There's a bus transfer to Moreton Island the next morning. The hotel has a lot of rooms, but they are a bit old, though the room itself was quite spacious. Dining options nearby are convenient. Overall, it's still a good choice.

The sea view from the balcony was nice, but my only regret was that the floor was a bit too low, so the seaside view wasn't spectacular. Of course, you can just go down to the beach to see it, it's only about 100-200 meters away, which is really convenient.

The location is convenient, close to both the beach and the city. The gym has very basic equipment. There's a balcony, but it wasn't cleaned.

Lovely clean rooms, Great friendly Staff. Comfy bed, great view of the beach from the balcony. Short walk to the beach and shops. Discounted parking from public carpark next door. Had the best stay only downfall is they dont have a swimming pool, but was so close to the beach it didnt matter that much. Great breakfast selection. Love, love, loved my stay *****
Response from Property: Dear Caroline,Thank you so much for your lovely feedback.I am delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay, particularly the clean and comfortable room, friendly service from our team, and the beautiful beach views from your balcony. It is also wonderful to know you appreciated our breakfast selection and the convenience of being so close to both the beach and local shops.I do appreciate your note regarding the absence of a swimming pool. While we do not advertise or operate pool facilities, I am glad the proximity to the beach helped make up for this and that it did not take away from your overall experience.We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back again for another enjoyable stay.Kind regards,Nick Bastion - MacdonaldAssistant Manager

I’m quite disappointed with my stay. I was there for 5 days and 4 nights, and the experience fell far below expectations.
Upon entering the room, I noticed stains and even ***** hair on the bedsheets, which was extremely off-putting. I requested a room change, but the receptionist said the only options were to remain in the same room, move to a lower-level room next to a bar (which would be noisy), or have the room cleaned. None of these felt like an acceptable solution.
The cleanliness overall was poor. The floor was dirty, and several smaller areas clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly. There was also hair in the closet, and the room itself looked quite run down, with visible damage on the walls and doors, as well as cracks in certain areas. It’s clear the property is in need of refurbishment.
Basic amenities were also lacking. No toothbrush or standard toiletries were provided. The hair dryer was very weak, although towels were provided. There was a kettle in the room, but we didn’t use it.
Given the condition of the room, I didn’t bother checking out the gym or spa, as it didn’t inspire confidence that those facilities would be well-maintained either. Also, the rooms weren’t soundproof. I could literally hear the conversations going on in other room.
Overall, this stay was disappointing and not up to standard
Response from Property: Dear Jeslyn,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.I am very sorry to read about the issues you experienced during your stay, particularly in relation to the cleanliness and condition of your room. This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide, and I understand how disappointing and uncomfortable this would have been for you.I also regret that the alternatives offered at the time did not meet your expectations. While we always do our best to assist within availability, I am sorry that we were not able to provide a more suitable solution during your stay.Your comments regarding housekeeping standards, room condition, noise, and in room amenities have been taken very seriously and have been shared with our housekeeping and maintenance teams for thorough review and follow up.We truly appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention, as feedback of this nature is essential in helping us improve. I do sincerely apologise that your experience did not reflect the standards we strive to deliver.Thank you again for your comments, and I do hope we have the opportunity to provide a far improved experience in the future.Kind regards,Liam CampbellAssistant Manager

Initiali was given a room which faced the disco pool,super noisy at nite.they oni stop ard 1am, I couldn't sleep & had a bad headache the next morning.luckily they managed to help me to change room to the other side after my feedback. The hotel location was a short walk to the beach & paradise center where all the food is.it will be good if the carpark fees are complementary for hotel stays.

Its best feature is its location, steps from the beach. However, it's a hotel that has been downgraded; some rooms and hallways are in dire need of maintenance. I didn't realise the pool area no longer belonged to the hotel, which was a disappointment. I feel the price is high compared to other places with more amenities and more modern facilities. Breakfast was average as well.

The location is good, close to train stations and convenient to go to anywhere. The sea view from the balcony was good, will be better if from higher floors.
The facility was old but reasonably clean.

A hotel with a view right by the Gold Coast. Turn right out of the hotel and you'll hit the beach in about 200 meters. The golden sand feels amazing under your feet. We even stumbled upon a flea market selling all sorts of souvenirs, which was super convenient as we didn't have to go into the city to buy them.

1. **Prime Location:** Just a 3-minute walk to the beach, with the G:link light rail station right at the doorstep. It's a 5-minute stroll to Cavill Avenue, a bustling pedestrian street packed with restaurants, bars, and convenience stores. A taxi to the airport takes about 25 minutes.
2. **Amenities & Experience:** Modern rooms, many with private balconies (sea or city views available). Features include an outdoor pool, spa, sauna, and gym. Dining options include Fables restaurant and Tales bar. Free and stable WiFi is provided. The downsides are that some facilities feel a bit dated, and street-facing/lower-floor rooms can experience noise from nearby bars on weekends. Parking is paid and limited.
3. **Service:** 24-hour front desk with multilingual staff who can assist with booking theme park tickets and excursions. Luggage storage is seamless. A credit card deposit is required at check-in.
4. **Ideal For:** Couples, families, and budget-conscious business travelers. During peak season, it's recommended to book an inner, higher-floor room in advance.
