Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise
Great room and great location. Great amenities in the room and guest services was very helpful. The only suggestion I have is to provide a water bottle filling station, recycling bins in the rooms, and a dish drainer for the kitchenette for drying dishes. Would recommend this property to anyone.
