“How much is the buffet breakfast? ”
over a year ago
Buffet breakfast is $39 on weekdays and $42 on weekends. When you book a room, you would need to ask for a breakfast package so that breakfast is included. There is a tram station near Marriott that can take you to Surfer’s Paradise (tram fare without a GoCard could be up to $6 one way but with Go Card can be $3 one way - I am not sure whether the hotel sells Go Card). In Surfer’s Paradise, of course, breakfast (not buffet) is cheaper.
Unfortunately for them saying it’s a typo is inaccurate as they had at least two different $400+ prices listed on multiple rooms. So it wasn’t just one typo it was several.
Given the expensiveness of the accommodation I expected better quality controls.
The prices shown on Wotif carry through to the hotel’s website, although it also includes some options with a significantly cheaper breakfast.
The special deal you have highlighted shows the bonuses as breakfast for 2 adults and 2 children under 12, although it is not clear how long you get to keep the children for.
Not likely.
Perhaps an endless ‘smashed’ $1 avocado on toast, and bottomless cup of that horrible black percolator ‘paint stripper’ coffee.
I’ll note that the walk up all you can eat breakfast (guests pricing the last few times we stayed in a Sydney hotel in 2019) was over the $40 per head mark. The $60+ per head for the Gold Coast reflects it’s special status in the minds of those who promote the destination as family friendly fun. The Marriott is not the average Gold Coast cheapie though.
P.S.
It pays to shop around, although in this example the cheap breakfast is accompanied by a not so cheap room rate. It is a Villa on the edge of the Noosa National Park as compensation.
Out of curiosity, I had a look on their website at prices for two people a week before the dates I originally looked at, and the the prices show are DOUBLE what is shown in my original post.
So thanks for the suggestion but at the prices they charge only in my dreams could I afford to stay there - even with a significant discount.
