Total Gem….was not expecting to like this place as much as I did. Upon entering, this wonderful smell floats around the foyer, the staff are welcoming and helpful. The room was lovely, not big but not overly small either. We are a family of 4 and it was comfortable. The shower room was cool, the kids (and I) loved it. The pool was a lovely temperature and the kids had the best time. The pool bar was great and the staff lovely. Oh and did I mention FREE breakfast….I will absolutely be staying here again when in the area.

Saved up all year to have this holiday, started off really well, nice welcome, clean room and good breakfast. The holiday was great until we returned to the room and noticed that our bag that were closed, were now opened and three expensive items of clothing were stolen from our bag. The Hotel Management did very little to investigate the concern and sent us on our way, so upper management, if you are reading these reviews, we were room 519 and the date was the 7/1/26. We left the room at 8am and returned at 4-30pm. Not happy as these items are now irreplaceable, we travelled light and only had the minimum amount of clothing we us. Don't usually complaint, but can stand people stealing from the little guy. Feel free to contact us to discuss further.

The hotel was located near the centre of the city. The area was quite quiet at night. Breakfast was included and the choice was very basic with just one or two alternations in the buffet menu. Freshly brewed coffee was offered free of charge. I stayed for 2 nights and appreciated the room design very much. It was quite modern and user oriented. The window blind was excellent, blocking all the light for a better sleep. TV was large enough, but watching YouTube was not available. Toothbrush and other daily necessities were offered at the front desk upon request. Shower area was sizable. Carpark was limited at a charge and needed to use the room card at the entrance. There was a carpark complex opposite to the hotel, with plenty of lots at a cheaper rate. Front desk service was 24 hours a day. The hotel offered light meals and drinks. There were restaurants and fast food shops nearby. Driving to attractions was convenient.

We had a really great stay at the Holiday Inn Express Maroochydore. The staff were super friendly, easy to deal with and always greated us with a smile. Housekeeping did an awesome job keeping everything tidy. The room was clean, comfy and just what weneeded. Overall, a great hotel for a hassle‑free stay.

Nice new hotel but has many teething issues needing fixed. Lift programming is terrible. Major lines just to use the lifts because they are not programmed correctly to be most efficient. Never waited so long for such a small hotel. Breakfast was bad, meat and bacon not cooked enough still raw in spots. Poor coffee etc.
