Novotel Surfers Paradise

10/10 Excellent
"It was good but the buffet breakfast wasn’t as comparative to other hotels in the area. No drama with check in or check out. Easy transaction, easy to book. Difficulty connecting TV with chrome cast but otherwise a decent stay. More expensive compared to hotels in the same local area but overall nice"
