We didn’t interact with the staff as it was a one night stay and we arrived late and left early. There were no lifts and we had to carry heavy bags up a very old outdoor staircase - it seemed dangerous and very steep with heavy luggage. The carpark was virtually unusable unless you drive a mini or similar, so we parked on the street. The shower head did not stay up so showering was a pain. We wouldn’t stay again.

Upon entering our room water was coming out of floor boards and shower was leaking horribly. Couldn’t stop the leak and we couldn’t be moved to another room as there weren’t any available. We had to use our towels to line the floor so we wouldn’t get wet. Needless to say none of us slept much and all that we recieved were new towels, no refund or compensation was offered. Very disappointing and would never stay here again.

It's fairly simple, you get what you pay for. I mean if you want a true 5 star resort or hotel, you have to pay for it, and there are plenty of those up and down the Gold Coast. If you want a nice comfortable room, a decent bed and a clean bathroom, at an affordable price, then this is the place for you. A small complex of 12 rooms, the rooms are quite large - especially if you have stayed in similarly priced accommodations in the UK, Europe and even parts of America. They are clean and on the Gold Coast Hwy, they are actually on Tambourine Street but the frontage is on the Hwy, not too noisy, no free pay TV, but good wifi access. You could easily walk down to the beach, I did, and there are a few eateries around the area. All in all a decent place to stay without the big price tag. Like I said at the beginning, you get what you pay for. Don't expect to stay like a King or Queen and you won't be disappointed.
The only let down was lack of parking spots on the premises, which fill up fast so beware of that if you are driving there, or hiring a vehicle.

The bed was hard and very bouncy, also on castors that slid all over the floor. the covers over the bed bases were dirty, the comforter between the sheets had marks on them)
The bleach smell was so strong when we got there and it hung on for hours.
Broken tiles in the bathroom and broken things hanging on the walls, no exhaust fan.
The iron was broken and leaked water , ironing board had nothing under the cover so it was near impossible to iron.
I dropped something and had to move the lounge and the floor under it was filthy ( tablets, noodles, dirt)
The BBQS don’t work , the laundry was out of service
The whole place needs some TLC
It was an $80 a night place not over $200
It was a weekend away for me my hubby and our daughter after a horrible couple of years I’m so disappointed.

Check in experience was horrible even though called and emailed 3 days prior to check in for checkin instructions after office hours. Did not confirm reception will be closed at 5pm. Did not provide check in instructions until later afternoon of the check in date when we are already on the plane and had no Wi-Fi access in a foreign country. would not recommend if you don’t have access to local cellphones. Have almost gave up and tried to book somewhere else when we arrived with no one at reception and it was late and dark. Had to force to set phone on roaming and found the email re check in instructions.

Everything went smoothly, except for the excavator at 3am outside our window. Not the fault of the hotel, but not pleasant at all.
Some of the bathroom floor tiles were loose creating a hazard. When told the staff felt embarrased so hopefully they fixed it before the next guest comes in.
Nice and close to the beach and shops and reasonable facilities.

The property was sufficient for our needs. It wasn’t overly dirty but just run down, old and in need of renovation especially the bathroom.
