I had a wonderful visit to the Holiday Inn at Sunshine Coast. The place is lovely, and the staff at the reception were very friendly and welcoming. I visited twice for breakfast each morning, and I found it to be worth the money.
I do have some suggestions for improvements:
- Adding a breakfast menu for better options.
- Including more cut fruits for display.
- Placing some fresh salads next to the cool chiller.
- Adding boiled eggs and soup dishes to the breakfast spread.
- I believe the chefs could create more special items to attract more customers.
Will visit soon
Thank you,
Chef ManjulaSL 🇦🇪🇱🇰🇦🇺

I stayed at this hotel for 4 days and had a great experience. The hotel is quiet and very clean—you can really see the effort they put into keeping everything comfortable and well maintained. They only offer breakfast, but there are great options nearby for lunch and dinner. Compass Menu is just a 5-minute walk and has excellent food and service. The pool was clean, and the gym was good as well. I really liked this hotel, and the location is perfect—close to the beach and Sunshine Plaza. I would definitely stay here again.

Reception staff at Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sunshine Coast by IHG were fantastic and the rooms were comfortable and clean.
However, don’t bother about breakfast , if you are lactose or gluten intolerant, I would not recommend dining here. The food looked ordinary. The croissants were dry. Very basic selection. Two star for breakfast. The restaurant manager was inflexible and showed no real concern for dietary health and safety. He refused to provide two fried eggs. It was too much work for him. I even offered to buy my own eggs and fry them. It’s a pity how one person can change the tone of the place. Very disappointing..

This is a great hotel. It is immaculate with a highly courteous staff. David, the hotel manager, is outstanding. He runs a tight ship and the entire staff extends themselves to make sure you have anything you may need. Very much guest oriented. I thought parking outside the garage would be an issue, but it is not. I recommend the hotel highly and will be returning often. It has all the amenities.

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.
