Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort
The property in general is very nice. Lobby looks sleek and aesthetically pleasing. There are activities available to do for the whole family. The room however that we stayed in is quite dated, and can use some much-needed renovation. Other rooms or units are quite nice and looks new.
