This hotel was okay, i wish it had laundry service. And I wish we had thorough instructions to work the room lights and parking was kinda shocking as I knew they were renovating but overall it’s average for my partner and I. Good for a backpacker or couple on small vacation. When the pool and carpark is finished just maybe get full stars. Good experience. Breakfast was beautiful too

The place is nice. Staffs were really nice except for Favio who’s on duty that night. He’s not quite accomodating with our enquiries ( rolls his eyes / seems frustrated when answering our queries. The lady on duty in the restaurant needs to smile. Other than that , we had a great time spending our holiday in Brisbane.

The staff member who checked us in was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. The beds weren't comfortable. The location was great for our visit. The hotel needs major upgrades to painting etc. Seemed quite run-down. If you are looking for a cheap night in the city, and dont mind an uncomfortable bed, then I would suggest a booking.

No phone directory so you could ring through to reception; no listing of services available at the hotel like laundry etc. The only piece of information in the whole room was the availability of breakfast.

Nice enough, A lot of construction going on in the building.

Would of preferred to spend that extra money on a nicer hotel that guarantees available parking!

Avoid major building work in progress.

Dreadfull to allow business to continue with major building work in progress. The left lift is a fire hazard with padding incasing it to stop the tradies from damaging it. They were working on our floor and drilling through the wall from us.Impact drills vibrating the walls from 7am we even had no water at one point, we complained to the staff but were told that a notice about the work was on the website... really shabby from when you enter the place.we had to ask for our tokens every morning for breakfast for some reason even though we had paid before coming. The only good point was the breakfast and the girl was nice and friendly.

Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast

The hotel was stylish fresh and clean and would have rated excellent throughout except for:- !. very noisy and intrusive refurbishment taking place. 2. an extremely tight and tortuous entry to a very small underground carpark packed with containers of refurb rubbish which had to be rearranged on three occasions just to get in/out. We had already paid $30.00 a night upfront otherwise we would have parked elsewhere.

There is visible mould in the shower The lobby stinks of fried food after the breakfast service The walls are so thin you hear every conversation through them. The "queen bed" is actually two single beds squished together and the centre of the bed is very uncomfortable as a result. There is also very loud construction noise - drilling and hammering- within the hotel rendering it impossible to sleep in on any day other than a Sunday.

My son left his watch in the room after we checked out and they went out of their way to send it back to us. Thank you! The only thing id say is if you want a quiet location, this place is heavily impacted by the noise at the new queens wharf in the weekends

Disappointed

Rooms were very comfortable and nice enough for a budget motel. I was very disappointed with the stay as they had renovations occurring where they were jack hammering on the floor straight outside and next to my room. I let it go for the night as they stopped about 330pm but then was woken the next morning as the tradies were on the floor setting up around 630 am. I asked for another room that day on a different floor.
