AC noisy, next to very busy road (you can hear noise clearly on 21st floor), no wireless/internet very slow. A/C cannot be adjusted to get to preferred temperature (a wheel adjustment which seems not to be aligned properly) Best views (ocean) is the noisest... Summary: 3 stars at best...so many better values for beach fun. more

Stayed in Surfers Paradise for 2 nights to break up the drive from Sydney to Brisbane. The hotel was straight forward to find being on one of the main routes through the area. We had a room on the 26th floor with excellent views over the city and beyond. The hotel has a lagoon pool with sunbeds and another pool... more

2nd time at this hotel. love it. great venue for a conference. Rooms are clean and well kept. the most pleasant staff i have ever encountered in a hotel, from the reception staff to the cleaners. its not on the beach, but only a 2 minute walk. and also far enough away from the centre of surfers and its nightlife... more

We stayed at the Marriot for a quick break of three nights in July. We were lucky enough to get a great deal through a promotion at the time (one night free). The staff are friendly, but no more than you would expect of any good hotel. The room had it's own tiny balcony, and despite it being very small,... more

My recent stay at the Marriot was a wonderfully relaxing experience. Right from our original check in, everything seemed to gel. We had a beautiful room (with plenty of space for a childs rollaway bed) complete with a panoramic view of the ocean & river. The decor was fresh & modern with everything you could ask for, including gorgeous aromatherapy... more

Our room was on the 19th floor and had views of both the Hinterland and ocean. The check-in staff were friendly and helpful. We paid to upgrade to the Elandra Retreat Club, and enjoyed the coffees, cakes, wine, canapes and also breakfast there the next morning. This meant that we enjoyed a spectacular view of the ocean from the 27th... more

I went to Gold Coast for a business conference and have chosen to stay at the Marriott Surfers Paradise Hotel for three nights at $249 per night. This hotel is located next to the Gold Coast Highway and it is around 15 mins walk (North) of the main drag. It is also situated at the quiet side of Surfers Paradise,... more

I booked the Marriott Surfers Paradise Report as a surprise for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. Check in was smooth and fast. The reception staff were extremely friendly. We did have to wait a while for the concierge to deliver our luggage to our room. We ended up going back downstairs and took it up ourselves but this didn't really bother... more

My husband and I stayed here late July 2009 as I had a big examination to attend and he came along for the ride. It was just great. The hotel itself is lovely. The decor is a bit dated but did not seem shabby or kitsch. Everything was beautifully clean. Our room was on the 25th floor and had stunning... more
