Everything about the Hotel was good, only one small complaint was an excellent breakfast was spoilt by terrible quality of sausages, so. bland and didn’t taste like a Pork sausage, such a small thing which can so easily be put right. Wouldn’t put me off staying there in the future, just wouldn’t order sausages. ,!!!

Ami at reception greeted us in a polite and helpful way. Believing the hotel had an elevator, (as I haven't visited in quite a few years,) I booked two rooms for myself and for my elderly mother who would not have been able to manage the stairs. Despite my apparent mistake and the short notice, Ami was able to provide us with a ground level room for mum. Thank you Ami! We had a very enjoyable stay as so much has been done to the hotel to make it more attractive to travellers and locals alike. It was a surprise to me to find the hotel now has a restaurant area with indoor and outdoor seating areas as well as the bar now in the lounge area, making the downstairs a very warm space to spend the evening. Our only gripe which prevented us from having a restful stay was the noise in the car park. Until late at night with visitors comings and goings and from very early morning with deliveries. This morning for example we were woken at 7.30am with the delivery of the beer barrels followed by food deliveries etc. all necessities, but below both mum and my windows which meant that we didn’t have as much rest as we had hoped for. Given it is a very large car park, I wonder if something could be done to unload deliveries away from the rooms? The stay was pleasant and I thank Kingscliff hotel as my mother’s disability prevents us from travelling to far for too long. I hope the review is helpful.

They gave us room 27, ok it had air conditioning but they failed to tell us that a huge extractor fan would be switched on outside our window at 6am which woke us up. Obviously we didn’t know this until after the first night and everything unpacked so didn’t want a fuss for the next night moving rooms. What’s so sad is that they know this yet still put people in this room, would I stay again, no, would I recommend this hotel, I would have to say maybe. They should use room 27 as storage and not a room. I’m sorry to have to write this, but I feel conned, they knew this room and maybe the room next door had this noisey extractor jet engined fan and still put you it it. Shame really, actually silly ad they have lost a good review and I will certainly look for another hotel for my next visit 🙄😳
