good size excellent bathroom free parking uncomfortable temperature insufficient bodywash poor pressure
The room was a good size. The bathroom facilities were excellent. Free parking was a huge plus (always a relief). The location is good if you prefer to be away from the Surfers Paradise crowds, yet close enough to visit.
The room temperature was set to 15.4 degrees Celsius. This made the room uncomfortably cold. The provided body wash was barely enough for one shower. I found the shower head pressure to be quite poor.
