Our apartment was modern, well-presented and spotlessly clean, and had a great view over the beach and hinterland. The overall building, plus garden areas and pool were very clean and well-maintained. The location was fantastic - directly across from the beach and a short walk to the Broadbeach shopping & cafe precinct.

    Our second year in a row staying here over the holidays. The location is perfect and it’s probably the most affordable ocean-view hotel around. The facilities are a bit run down but as long as your expectations aren’t super high, it’s fine. Overall it’s a solid budget-friendly hotel for a beach getaway.
