Ramada By Wyndham Marcoola Beach
"Bed was comfortable. Room was not as clean as it could be. Light from the common areas was a problem and remained on all night. Curtains were not able to keep all light out which made for a poor sleep. The restaurant was really good and the wait staff were all lovely."
