Oaks Gladstone Grand Hotel

Oaks Gladstone Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We have stayed here multiple times and it always lives up to expectations. Location is central, check-in very easy and complimentary parking is convenient. The rooms are very clean and well appointed for 2 people. Our room had a lovely view towards the marina and parklands. The Grand Hotel next door is undergoing renovations so there was no restaurant but as we were in Gladstone for a family wedding that wasn’t an issue. There is a great cafe nearby for coffee and breakfast."
