Got to be one of the shittiest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. I would compare it to a low budget oil patch hotel in Northern Canada, charge too high for the quality. A 100 $ deposit and they give back after they check the room for damage. Clearly I booked the wrong hotel. 10am check out and get to pay another $20 to stay till eleven. Pay a 100 more and get a real hotel, first hotel in a long time...

3.8 star is what you get. Just a place to lay your head after a night at the casino. Close to Public transport and Pacific fair mall , The star casino and beaches. Clean and tidy family room. First in first serve for car parking. Small Swimming pool and free Wifi. Shower / bath gel and soap, needs to upgrade from 10ml to 20ml.

If you prefer to stay for less for your vacation at Goldcoast. Book in advance to get best prices. Though the building looks old. The rooms, beds and bathrooms are good and clean. Better to pay cash for deposit so you get the cash back when you vacate. No need to wait for bank transfer form them and wait for it to get credited for a week to reflect in your account.
