I recently stayed at this hotel after a work conference and was horrified to wake after one hour to intense scratching all over my body. Yes BED BUGS GALORE and the photos dont lie!

When we got to the hotel... More

i can say this is a budget place. dont expect 5 star and luxury bed. Complete with TV, microwave, coffee making, hairdryer. Toilet and bathroom aging. bed reasonably comforatble and clean. the staff/ ( maybe the owner) Donna was helpful during stay. Located along the Gold coast highway, so easily assess to 'the centre'. Bus stop around 50 m away.

The rooms stank, the carpets were filthy, the bathroom had black hairs in the shower and sink, there were toenails on the carpet. The curtains were hanging off the... More
