Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise, an IHG Hotel (Surfers Paradise, Australia)

Staying in this hotel puts you equidistance between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, so you can easily walk to the many attractions in either district. You're also just a seven minute walk from the sands of the Gold Coast.

Pack as much luggage as you like when you book a room at this place, the rooms are big enough for you and all your suitcases! Some rooms also have stunning views over the Pacific Ocean coastline and towering skyscrapers.

You won't be able to fault the customer service provided by the staff here, from the moment you step foot in the door you'll be treated like a valued guest. If there is anything you need just make a request and it will be dealt with swiftly.

If you decide to dine in the hotel restaurant you might be a bit put off by the prices. The meals here are far from cheap and the quality of the meals being served doesn't quite match up with their price tags.

You might be surprised to hear that some hotels still charge their guests to use the Wi-Fi, and this hotel is one of these shameful places. Staying connected to the internet while staying here means paying extra for it.

This hotel would have once been something quite special, but age has most certainly taken its toll and brought this place down a peg or two. Maintenance is sorely needed in some areas so let's hope some refurbishment is carried out soon.
