Top Sunshine Coast Hotel Reviews

Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort

Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort

8/10 Good
"Maintenance is a big issue at this property- Manager please read: Very helpful and lovely staff, we like the quiet location and visit yearly. Rooms are always clean, we stay in the renovated rooms. This trip however there was a leaking roof where we had to walk up and down stairs that we found very dangerous, the amount of water gushing out- because it was raining was alarming. It was heavily covering the stairs. The Sola restaurant food was great, however we waited 50 minutes just to receive our drinks and an hour to receive our meals, we had to cancel a meal that still hadn’t arrived since it was getting late. The lack of maintenance is very concerning, rotting timber, gutters falling, it has been an issue for years and not much has changed. We will not be going back next year."
