Novotel Surfers Paradise
"Our room was spacious, house keeping did an excellent job every day. The gym had limited floor space, could perhaps have some little cubby shelves to put belongings in, one of the two treadmills not working. The beach view was awesome. The lifts were noisy next to our room. Very convenient location ..."
