Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort
Staff were fantastic but the state of the room was very poor - especially for what it cost! We had an unclean floor, including a dead spider, the walls had something dripped down on it and even when showed to the evening staff was never cleaned off. We had a trail of ants marching in along the floors ...

South Pacific Resort & Spa Noosa
The room was spotless and practically invited us in. The facilities were good and the pool and spa were just outside. The staff at reception were all the things you want at check-in and during our stay. Very happy with the whole experience.

Ramada By Wyndham Marcoola Beach
The room was sufficient however I noticed there was a long shred of hair on the lamp. There was water leaking in one of the bathroom facilities in the lobby. I think it would be good to blow all the leaves at the front entrance from time to time. Overall nice hotel.
