So the Gold Coast is my home for the next month or so, and I have to say it's not as bad as I thought. I have a king bed room and there's a lot of open space to make it not feel like a tiny hotel room. There's a (shitty) coffeemaker in the room which is handy and an iron and a hairdryer I think. Just missing a fridge.
Sadly the rest of the hotel kinda sucks. Food options are meh and really, why would you gamble here? Go across the street to the Palms... much better vibe.
