La Costa Beachside Motel, hotel in Gold Coast

Situated opposite Gold Coast Airport, this refurbished boutique motel offers 24-hour self check-in, free high speed Wi-Fi and a complimentary breakfast basket.

The location was handy to public transport and shops, yet in a quiet area which is what we wanted. It was also close to the beach which was lovely. They also made up a special breakfast pack that they include for guests. Fantastic. We got a good night's sleep.

    We've stayed at this motel previously and came back as we liked it last time. Everything is really well cleaned and maintained. The rooms and beds are comfortable and surprisingly quiet. We didn't actually speak to any staff this time around as we checked in late and out early, but they made sure we had keys and instructions to access them easily. The free parking on site is a major plus.

    Brilliant Location! Short walk to Pacific Fair Shopping Centre & Casino,, so we decided to walk instead of drive and park. Found the room clean and bed was comfortable. Bathroom was spacious and very clean. This is the 3rd time we have stayed here and find it good value. Stayed for 2 nights and always had a free parking spot at Motel. The Receptionist, who also does Housekeeping, was very friendly and welcoming.

    Cosy 1 bedroom unit which was extremely clean and tidy. Had the little extras which made it nicer than a hotel/motel unit. So central to shopping, entertainment and cafe / restaurants. Good free wifi and very comfortable bed. View over pool area. Free parking. Very nice and helpful host.
