This hotel needs an upgrade in terms of aesthetics, cleanliness and overall appearance. Carpets in the hallway of our floor not vaccumed for what seemed days. Scuff marks on wall of our room. Mold on tiles and bathroom taps, faucet, celing. Paint job needed.
The buffet breakfast was great though, no complaints there.

I booked a King room with an Ocean view at a fixed price with breakfast and got bumped down to a normal room with no breakfast for a much higher rate, we will never stay at VOCO again, never.

Excellent location, right next to the Surfers Paradise station and the Q1 sky observation tower. The building is a little old but luckily well maintained. Great breakfast buffet selection and friendly staff service. P.S. if you get the river view, you can get stunning sunset view all from the comfort of the room, which is also very warm during winter as the sun shines in during the colder times of the day.
