I stayed at the Novatel chain throughout my 3 weeks travel in Australia except for this one night where I had to stay in Tweed Heads to catch an early flight at the Gold Coast airport the next morning. There is only one other review here on tripadvisor so I wasn't sure whether this place would live up to my expectations. My experience with Comfort Inn has been very positive in the states so I took a leap of faith and booked this place, and I'm happy to say that this Comfort Inn does not disappoint either.
The lady at check-in and check-out (the same lady working both shifts!!!) was very friendly and welcoming. The room is a bit dated but clean and comfortable. Having an extra couch was nice because we have 2 kids with us. I was also pleasantly surprise when I spotted a toaster in the room so we can make our own toasts. In Australia, good food is extremely hard to come by so we resolved to eat a lot of PBJ. Being able to toast our bread that morning was a nice addition.
Overall, the place was decent and quiet. It looks very much like a motel. We used the coin-op washer/dryer to do the laundry and they work great. Check-in/out was easy and the staff was pleasant. The location is very close to the Gold Coast airport so this is an ideal spot to spend a night to catch an early flight. Given the choices in the area, I would say this Comfort Inn is a good place to stay.
