Stayed only 1 night at Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise. Booked an Executive OCEAN room. No oceans views from the room, but from the balcony when you stuck your head out from the balcony and looked right. My views were purely North to the city and the river.
I went back to reception and said I was given the wrong room type, to be told, no that is the room type I booked and paid for. Very rude duty manager. No offer to move me, or anything. I told her I would not be back.
That night, the bed was soft and terrible. The clock radio did not work, but I didn't tell them, as I didn't think they would be interested due to their cold reception to me re the room type.
So, we did not have dinner here, or use the bar, as I would not give them one cent more.
The only saving grace and why I have given 1 star is that the staff on reception the following morning were really sympathetc and good. One agreed the room description should be changed.
We have stayed here lots in previous, and we have just started to travel again, and it is a shame that staff can be sooooooo bad.
