Good match for:

  • Surf Enthusiasts: Broadbeach Surf School is a 7-minute walk away, offering daily group lessons on beginner-friendly waves.
  • Poolside Relaxers: Enjoy quiet mornings with exclusive access to the outdoor pool before beachgoers arrive.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Luxury Seekers: The motel offers basic amenities and lacks a spa, gym, or rooftop bar.
  • Night Owls: The front desk closes at 17:00; after-hours self check-in requires advance hotel contact.

Good location with the tram station right across the road and really close to the beach. The pool was nice but that’s where it ended. The reception hours aren’t very long so if you need to talk to someone you can’t, the phone number on the website etc doesn’t exist either. The rooms are terrible and even though it’s fairly cheap it’s not cheap enough. Our roof was covered in mould, the roller door...

The dirty bed sheets were stained. No bible We requested a blanket that was not clean and gave it to me The shower had mould in the shower We had to ask for milk, soap, a hairdryer. This place should be pulled down by a demolition company and loaded out on trucks and then build a motel that people can actually enjoy .

That means staff tried to acc...

It was ok. Pros are great location with tram stop right at your door, AC in the room, decent size room for a solo traveller, bathroom with an opening, good wifi and free parking. Cons are it's outdated but it's all reflected in the price. I didn't book this place expecting a modern hotel. Bed wasn't very comfortable. Main con was I killed about 5 cockroaches in my room during my 2 night stay, so ...

I recently stayed at the Gold Coast Inn, and I have to say, it was by far one of the most disappointing and uncomfortable accommodation experiences I’ve ever had. The property is in serious disrepair, and it completely fails to meet even basic hospitality standards. Honestly, given its current condition, this place should not charge anywhere near the current rates and would be more appropriate und...
