I know the gold coast and the million and one accommodation stays to sort through HEADACHE or what! sometimes sorting through all the bull takes the fun out of it all.., For location, easy access to everything you need, like walking to a woolies and surfers just over the bridge,, busses,,beach and broadwater, stop and think the money you save...

Checked two rooms out here which were out the back and the top room especially was the most disgusting room I've ever seen and I've travelled a bit in Eastern Europe and most of Asia. The place should be reported to whoever monitors the standards of hotels/motels in Australia as its an international embarrassment and potential health hazard. Only good... More

Harsh review to respond to isn't it? As the owner of The Sundale Motel I take these comments very seriously as my personal and business reputation is at stake here. I would love to apologise for the disgusting room this traveller alledgedly encountered but I actually feel I am the one owed an apology in this instance for an unfair... More

Due to circumstances we took our chances and booked last minute at the Sundale. The room was very rundown, small and poorly maintained. It was a terrible room which looked nothing like the photos on the website. Various things, eg the flush mechanism on the toilet, the venetian blind and the kitchen light were either broken or not working reliably.... More

Thank you for reviewing The Sundale Motel and rating our Location, Sleep Quality and Cleanliness as acceptable. We do agree that finding a room on the Gold Coast at the last minute in peak Christmas School holiday times for a single night without a reservation can be exceptionally difficult. The Sundale Motel has a convenient 24 hour online booking service... More

Just stayed at the Sundale Motel. Has been freshly painted but not worth $150.00 a night at any time. It's advertised price at the entrance of $89.00 is a realistic figure. Our son stayed at the Vibe Hotel, 21st. floor for $160.00.In our room there was no A/C, no wardrobe, no bedhead, no box of tissues, poor quality towels, no... More

This is incredible value. Yes it is a cheap motel. But for around $50 a night you can get a beer out of the fridge, sit on the balcony overlooking the palms and pool, and you are on the Gold Coast. Water is hot, toilet seat stays up, TV's digital, and the people are very friendly and helpful. What more... More

The owner or staff whoever the man there was very rude not welcoming at all when you are checking in. If you love giant cockroaches walking in the bathroom and spiders in bed room it's great!!

Hi Ngima, Overall it seems that you were satisfied with our location on the Gold Coast and value for money here in Southport but I am truly sorry to see that your stay at the Sundale was spoilt by a spider/cockroach seeking shelter from the rainy weather we've been experiencing. I certainly understand how you must have felt to come... More

Older style motel which we were prepared for, however facilities were extremely poor. Beds the most uncomfortable I have ever slept in, no air conditioning and couldn't really leave the door open as there was no privacy. Bed sheets were clean but bedspreads were clearly not washed for a long time. For "budget" accommodation, it was not particularly cheap and... More

To begin, the condition of this motel was absolutely appalling. As we entered the room there was an unbearable odour which made you feel as though the room had been locked for years. There were ants in the shower place and not even one toilet roll was left for use. To make matters worse the bed sheets had large stains... More
