Top The Rockpools Hotel Reviews

TRYP by Wyndham Southport Gold Coast

8/10 Good

"It’s a nice hotel but hard to park - the car park is now a construction zone making access difficult and undercover parking is limited with lift for only small cars - my suv was too big. They still charged me even though I had to park in their driveway which was a joke as the area more a footpath and not even owned by them. Restaurant not open during the week either. Rooms smaller than most but still comfortable. Staff were great but limited offerings"
