My husband and I stayed here recently. We have stayed here a number of times previously and never really had any problems. Nice clean room, great little kitchenette and comfortable beds. This time however, we were so disappointed and disillusioned. The air-conditioning was set at a certain temperature, which we thought was rather high, so we looked for the remote... More

Stayed here for 1 night (Saturday) - extremely difficulty to get single nights accommodation in the Runaway Bay area. Whilst decor a little dated, very clean with all ammenities. Staff extremely friendly and efficient.

Good location between theme parks. We went to Sea World on Friday and Wet n Wild on Saturday and only 15 mins drive to each. We booked a private spa unit on the ground floor and enjoyed the outside spa. It was very private, the room was very clean with all amenities. Very quiet location yet just 2 minutes to... More

We stayed a few weeks ago on a Saturday night, for business. While it's nowhere near the water, it is in a reasonably central location - just a short drive to Harbour Town shopping centre. The motel is large but quiet, with generous sized rooms and comfortable beds. Our family room had a queen bed and two singles, with plenty... More

Yeah, it's on the Oxley Drive-- not quite in the middle of nowhere, but not exactly in a prime location. The big Habourtown mall is 2 mins drive and there are plenty of other shopping centers close by. Dreamworld is about 20 mins north, the good beaches about the same distance south. There's no noise in the place at all.... More

Our family stayed on New Years Eve and granted we only stayed one night, but it was enjoyable because it had everything it said it had (air-con was included), reception was quick, close to two shopping places - had lunch at the Mandarin Inn which was awesome, bought dvds at Blockbuster Video, used the internet at the laundromat on Lae...

I visit the Gold Coast every 4-6wks visiting elderly relatives and often stay at the Runaway Bay Motor Inn. Excellent accommodation and location, good restaurant and food, friendly staff who can't do enough for you. Often I have to change my dates unexpectedly due to family reasons and they are always helpful and obliging. Close to Harbour Town shops and... More
