Blonde hair girl at reception was very helpful, room was nice and clean and security at night made us feel safe and helped with directions to where we needed to go. 10/10 for hotel location and our short stay. Thank you!

The Star Grand at The Star Gold Coast
Room was clean and staff were very obliging and helpful, pool area is great. Would liked to have seen more staff clearing tables in the casino and sports bar area as it was hard to find clean tables, but overall it was very good.
