Room is incredibly clean and nice for a basic motel room. The only reason this review isn’t glowing is the other guests at the motel who give the impression are permanent residents at the motel. They were making noise until late and you could hear everything. Website states soundproof rooms but the door is flimsy so you can hear any guests walking past your room. I’d stay here again in the hopes that those that live there have maybe moved on.

We booked this accomodation late at night, not knowing what to expect. WOW what a surprise the room was spacious spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable, very quiet. The late night check in was so easy, the staff were helpful, we would definitely stay there again. Fully recommend it

This property was great. Suggestion for improvement would be blinds on the main living room window. The lights from the front of the property shone into the apartment all night and made sleeping difficult.

Although an older property, cleanliness and attention to detail are second to none. Renovated super clean bathrooms. A no brainer if needing to catch an early/late connecting flight from Gold Coast airport. Only negative is the nasty cool white lighting (at least in our unit).. please consider changing to warm white bulbs!

Comfortable - handy for airport

We checked in late afternoon for a single overnight stay before an early flight out of the GC. Check in was quick and easy. The room was clean & tidy. The room was simple but had everything we needed for our short stay. Beds & pillows were comfortable. The overhead plane noise was super loud but didn't go late so it didn't affect our sleep. There is nothing close by within walking distance, but a short drive to get food (7-10 mins). Would recommend and would stay again for the overnight/early checkout for early flight.
