More info about parking before you get there as there's no parking available on the street if you haven't checked in. A better website to find where to change bank card details if card doesn't work for the deposit. Needs signs around the building showing where room numbers are. Soap in the bathroom needed, a tissue box needed.

The room was clean and beds were comfortable …a complete set of cutlery would be good, there were no knives or teaspoons. Loved the pool and the shower was hot and full stream. Some WD40 spray needed on all sliding doors.
The pool was pure vintage and lovely.  Close to the beach and all amenities.

Parking was not secure despite being advertised as such. The room was tiny and very worn, not like the pictures at all. My bed didn’t have a blanket and a very stained mattress protector. My son had a stained blanket and no mattress protector (being a former hotel managers daughter, I always strip my bed as I leave). No convenient power points. It was a place to lay our heads for the night but that’s it.

Very poor unit all round. Terrible beds. Poor cleaning. Wasn't the room I was shown when I booked. The whole place needs a major overhaul. No one entered our unit the 7 nights we were there and did anything. No rubbish was collected and I couldn't find anywhere to put it. It wasn't a place you wanted to spend anytime in apart from sleeping. The wifi was good. The parking on site was ok. It was very handy for the Florida tram stop so that was a plus but I paid premium and expected slightly better. I wouldn't go there again.

this was central to the shops. great location. mould all over the blind. noisy with traffic. an intoxicated man was banging on my window, and smashing other clients windows at midnight. he was able to access the motel through the gate with the broken lock. two police crews arrested him, lights and sirens - by the time the staff had cleaned up it was 02.00. this was very scary especially because I was by myself. I had to work the next day and was very upset and tired. The TV had such poor reception I could not even watch the news. the pool looked clean and well maintained. - I saw kids enjoying the pool. the reception is dirty with cracked glass. my bathroom window had cracked glass. overall a poor experience. the shower leaked all over the floor. I went to the chemist and purchased ear plugs and phenergan to sleep. Good carpark security, however the gates were not always shut.

The Gold Coast Inn was very misleading, the pictures seemed to show a fresh room, but instead was run down, dirty, and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned properly. The bathroom door for the room was stuck, couldn’t even close it. The rooms were very noisy, could hear any conversations and noise from the rooms next door.

Only good thing about the place was the location. We got there and left immediately. Room 18 in appalling condition, marks all over the walls, marks, stains and rust on the bed side tables, cuts and stains on the mattress, mould all in the shower and on the blinds as well as other questionable stains, the bathroom cabinet handle was broken off and missing and the bathroom door was a landlord special, cut out to close around the shower tiles . Need I say more? It was a terrible experience and because I had checked in late there was nothing that could be done and had to sleep in my car until I was able to arrange for another place the next day. -10/10 would never stay again
