“This motel strikes me as a practical choice for families eager to explore the Gold Coast without breaking the bank, especially those with smaller dogs in tow. I noticed the addition of barbecue facilities and a saltwater pool gives guests options for downtime, while proximity to both Surfers Paradise and the Broadwater adds to its appeal. For travelers prioritizing affordability and a pet-friendly environment, it's certainly worth considering.”
