I found the location of the hotel quite appealing, as it was a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle yet just a short walk from the beach. However, the accommodations left a lot to be desired, with outdated and worn furniture that did not match the website images. The service was hit or miss, and I experienced some pretty frustrating interactions with staff. Overall, while there are some redeeming qualities like the fun facilities, the overall experience was disappointing for what we paid.

During my stay, I found the hotel an excellent value for money, with a beautiful location near the river and only minutes away from the bustling heart of Surfers Paradise. The room was fairly spacious and clean, although a bit outdated in terms of decor and some amenities. While the pool area was lovely, the overall experience was hindered by some significant shortcomings such as an uncomfortable bed and insufficient dining options. For the price, it offered decent value, but I would have expected a bit more.
