There was road work the whole night of our stay. We needed a place to rest before our big drive to Sydney early next morning. We weren’t told there was planned road work just outside our room, the whole night long, the drilling etc was terrible. Was a very tiring drive the next day. The smell of cleaning chlorox was so strong when you enter the unit

Just an average motel. Didn't like the office closing at 5.00, making late check-in difficult.

At the end of the day its was a place to stay on the goldcoast without paying 3 x the amount at other hotels, for the cost and location, its great. Parking was good, right out the front of accommodation.
