"This time is a bit of let down for me, the property is more overrated, the facilities is definable amazing property on the Gold Coast. Privacy and security is on high however services wise is bit 1/10. Check in to my room with High Heat on 28 deg heat at 2.30pm check in, room was dark no light on, bathroom was a mess, long black hair clinching on the hanging towel, mirrors got soap smear, bathroom smelled like old drainage issues, that’s not all, i decided to order In room dinning services, Dinner turned up 45 mins late, cold and mashed potatoes splashed over my prawns on the way up to the room. 8.20am the next morning I got a banged on my door non stop, there’s Privacy lights on, room service again, enough frustration I open up the door with a trolley forced into my room, Quickly denied ordering a room service which I didn’t Order- sorry mam someone in your room ordered this, That’s alright error happens in any department. The arrogance part is when I call reception to advised them that someone knocking non stop at the door, Her reply was blant, non professional, sounds like that reception had a bad morning too, No apologies needed, Go back to sleep I’ll let Room service know 🤨😏☹️🙁😡Sure did you still have a job reception. Next trip I prefer try other Hotel Broadbeach has more to offer Check in 28/06 definitely check out on the 29/06 I hate writing. Review obviously this is one of my favorite go to Hotel in Syd."

Meriton Suites Broadbeach ★★★★★
"The hotel boasts an excellent location, within walking distance of both shopping malls and the beach. Our room offered a sea view, and there were plenty of dining options nearby. The room facilities were average, and the washing machine was quite old."

Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise ★★★★★
"My stay at Meriton Suites Broadbeach on the Gold Coast far exceeded expectations. The location is superb; it's just a few minutes' walk to the white sandy beach, and conveniently close to the light rail station and Pacific Fair Shopping Centre, making getting around, dining, and shopping incredibly easy. My high-floor unit featured a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window balcony directly overlooking the magnificent coastline. I could watch the sunrise over the ocean in the morning and enjoy the sunset with a sea breeze in the evening – the views were expansive and incredibly relaxing. The apartment has a complete home layout, with a full kitchen and a washer/dryer combo, which was very convenient for buying seafood and cooking ourselves. The room was clean and dry, and the bedding was soft and comfortable. The complex offers two swimming pools, a gym, and a sauna, all surrounded by lush tropical greenery, creating a peaceful and serene environment. The 24-hour front desk service was attentive and thoughtful, and the WiFi was stable and fast. This place is perfect for both couples on holiday and families on a short stay, making it an excellent choice for accommodation on the Gold Coast. I will definitely prioritize booking here again on my next visit."

Dorsett Gold Coast ★★★★
"As a four-star hotel, it largely meets the four-star standard. It's a high-traffic hotel, but the service in all aspects is quick, and they also offer personalized service. It's part of The Star group, so the hotel's location is integrated with The Star complex, and the buildings are all interconnected. I noted in advance that we were celebrating my child's birthday, and they prepared a greeting card and a toy bear, which made my child very happy. In the evening, my child had a cough and was a bit sick, throwing up on the bed. Housekeeping quickly brought new bedding without a single complaint or extra cleaning fee, and they were very caring towards my child. The only minor drawback might be the parking. It's a bit roundabout; you have to go to The Star's car park and follow the instructions carefully. However, the hotel sent parking instructions a day or two before check-in, which was very helpful."
