I think I have found my new favorite place to stay in the CBD. Recently renovated rooms, and after a couple of years those renovations are now nearly finished. It's only a short walk to Queen St, Botanical Gardens and there are a lot of cafes and food options nearby. You only have to walk 20 meters over the road to the new Star Casino and the walk bridge (Neville Bonner bridge) which is an easy stroll over to Southbank. The beds were comfy and quiet, the block out curtains were great for keeping the room dark in the morning. It was easy to find, the carpark was tight, but it's still being renovated. All the staff were friendly and I look forward to coming back & staying there again next time I have to visit Brisbane.

Room was ok tho , an update and painting would improve it dramatically..bed was very comfortable I will say… Service was ok , in the sense of when we asked for fresh towels we got bath mats as they said they ran out of fresh towels, being a hotel they should have ample amount of linen available for customers… tho were given towels later in the day.. please change those tiny little milk cups for small long life milk cartons they will definitely be more beneficial. Location was spot on, directly opposite the star casino and walking distance to queen st mall …

Great place to stay, good location and staff are very helpful. Carpark is a bit tight but the rooms are clean and well maintained. Prices are very reasonable. Thank you!!! My sister and her son stayed (in from St George C.Q)

We requested a renovated room. Which we received. Bathroom was neat, rooms clean, new carpets etc. The room was big. The bed. Was horrible. Extremely uncomfortable to sleep in. It felt really Old. The room and carpark costs drew my attention. We thought we'd save on those costs, But got 2 poor nights sleep for it.

Stayed for a couple of nights with two kids. Three years ago we had outdated room with three single beds. This time the room was much better (renovated). No complaints at all. Loved the digital (display) control panel for cooling/heating system. We had two single beds and one large double. The view was good (the Star, Brisbane river, etc.). Left our luggage there for a few hours after check-out, free of charge. We were not aware of the hotel’s building works. Half of the rooms on our floor were under renovation/construction. The drilling sound lasted for about 5 minutes only between 9-9.30am. Didn’t bother us. Their wifi was bad, we were not able to use it on our phones (but I did do some work on my laptop). No noise during the night, the location’s great (10-15-minute walk to the streets beach).
