“Terrible customer service!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012 via mobile

A very clean, well positioned hotel experience ruined by TERRIBLE customer service from the GUEST SERVICES MANAGER Damian B. Whilst waiting in line to check in i could over-hear the polite reception ladies assisting guest with room & parking info. I was instead greeted by the guest service manager who slammed the phone handset down, called "Next!", did not greet me, instead first thing he said was "Surname?", then muttered under his breath at his computer troubles, picked up the phone & made a call whilst waiving a pen in my face & pointing to the paper i had to sign whilst talking on the phone. His next words to me were "licence & credit card for imprint". Returning my cards to me he handed the door key to me and said "that is all". No directions on parking, getting to room or check out times. We had the same experience on check out again from the same guest services manager!! Never going back to outrigger, this staff member needs to be brought up to speed on appropriate customer service.

“Superb location, Value for money.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

I stayed there in January 2012, when the name was Holiday Inn. Superb location. Nice ambience. Vegy good lobby with good reception. Staff ready to serve you. It is a minute walking distance from Surfer's paradise beach. Even, very near to grocery store, market and few Indian restaurant just near to hotel. Close to night entertainment. Rooms are cosy and nicely furnished.

Room Tip: rooms are on two different side. Beach view and pool view. Beach view rooms are better.

“Great value for money! Very happy!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012 via mobile

After reading many reviews on TripAdvisor I went into this experience feeling positive. I haven't even finished my stay at the outrigger but already wanted to leave my positive feedback. The reception staff were extremely friendly and were more then happy to help out with my many requests. I was also extremely happy once we arrived to the room. The place was beautiful and in an extremely convienient location. I would more than happily stay again. Id definitely recommend this place to customers within my budget of $150-$250 per night!! Thanks outrigger!
