"It was good except for the parking situation you can’t book the parking till you get there and when we got there there was no room for us to get a park I explained that I had a stroke and could not work far they ended up giving mr a park in a different area which I could not understand why they did not offer this in the first place it just caused me stress which I did not need due to the stroke"

Hilton Surfers Paradise Hotel & Residences
