"The Gold Coast Inn was very misleading, the pictures seemed to show a fresh room, but instead was run down, dirty, and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned properly. The bathroom door for the room was stuck, couldn’t even close it. The rooms were very noisy, could hear any conversations and noise from the rooms next door."

"Location is amazing with a Coles and a quick walk through to downtown surfers accessible from the building. We were in a group and other families were in different towers so it made it difficult to see each other. This room was a great layout with amazing views. Only sheets provided for the beds. Couple small things need fixing but otherwise a great clean room! We loved our stay. "

"This property is an absolute gem. It's on the older side so if you're expecting the Marriott you'll be disappointed but if you don't mind a little bit of wear and tear, you'll love it. The beds weren't awesome but the pillows were pretty good and it was very clean and tidy. It's very noisy at the moment with major construction across the street, and it's very windy being right on the beach but it's a stone's throw from the tram and it has two heated pools (indoor and outdoor). There's great...
