    Nothing

    Clean and quite quiet (given proximity to Coolangatta airport). Comfortable bed. Good hot shower. Easy check-in and checkout. Easy pedestrian access to beach. Good off-street parking. Great place to stay before catching a morning flight!

    Mini fridge stocked up so much leaves no room for your own stuff. Minibar is quite pricey. Planes are very loud. Ana messaging in the morning before check out time regarding car being gone when it wasn’t. Some confusion around rego.

    It’s so pretty, very Miami Beach style. Comfortable, toiletries were amazing, if you forget anything don’t worry it’s all there. Mini fridge is stocked up. Free bottles of water. Liam was so lovely. Really wish the weather was better to utilise the pool and front hammocks.

    Easy access to beach, quiet accomodation, close to Gold Coast airport. Stylish room features, comfortable bed and welcoming staff. Option to get a coffee made on site was a bonus.

    theres not really anything to complain about but Its a simple room though so there was no cutlery and i wouldnt recommend the coffee from there, but overall its a really great stay and id love to stay again.

    Amazing location and happy with price for this location. I stayed 1 night and paid around 300 at the time (during winter season) The rooms are clean, and they even have happy hour drinks and pizza.

    The planes overhead in the morning are a bit loud which is annoying, but definitely tolerable

    Loved the 50s beachside motel vibe, it was so cute and it was executed so well! The staff are absolutely lovely aswell with solid recommendations in the area

    The reception staff member was lovely although for a place that advertises as having a cocktail bar i suggest staff trained to do so. Arrived on a Friday afternoon looking foward to ordering a cocktail or two but when I tried to order a drink was advised to get a premix out the fridge that then took nearly 10 mins to be round up and paid for 3 cans - Quite disappointing.

    Great place to stay, clean and tidy with all that you need.

    Unfortunately It did not include a Microwave which would have been handy for those quick meals after my big run on the Goldy, but as it is. I didn't eat much.

    Loved the location, bus stop and shops were within walking distance. For a solo trip, the room was perfect sized. Bed comfortable, aircon, and tables and chairs. The bathroom amazing!
