Brisbane Skytower by CLLIX
Rooms were clean, everything was easy to find & use, staff were amazingly friendly & overall had a wonderful stay. Only issue I would have was I do wish the windows by the pool were cleaned more frequently as the views up there were beautiful.

Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise
Was a great location and room was sparsely furnished but comfortable. Would prefer an open balcony, but on a 2 night stay it really wasn’t a bother. Friendly staff at check in. Loved the view :)
