It was a good stay, comfy beds, good curtains that block out the light. The facilities are good but was a bit disappointing that the steam room/ sauna was not open. The bar and the restaurant were very reasonable priced and the tram stop is on the doorstep. Overall a good stay.

Hilton Surfers Paradise Hotel & Residences
easy check in. room smelt musty and closed up. Air conditioning was ok, the room attendant kept altering the temperature. Something needs to be done about the pool chairs and beds, people were down putting towels on them at 6am, and leaving them most of the day to reserve them, spoke to reception ...
