Quality Hotel wins gold in Choice awards

QUALITY Hotel City Centre in Coffs Harbour has received top recognition in the Choice Hotels International 2025 Gold Awards.

Choice’s gold awards recognise properties across its network of 7,500 hotels internationally that best uphold the brand’s hospitality standards.

Quality Hotel City Centre owner Michael Dougherty told News Of The Area, “The award belongs to our incredible team, they continue to provide service excellence and ensure all our guests feel genuinely welcome.

“We are committed to continually renovating and improving the hotel ensuring our rooms and facilities are kept modern, comfortable and have an emphasis on technology and the environment.

“The Coffs Coast region is a fantastic area to operate our business.

“[We are] very much looking forward to the bypass opening later this year which will certainly enhance the liveability of our area.”
