Stayed here for my birthday. Had a really nice time in Brisbane and the hotel is very well located in city. Close to pretty much everything you need. The room was clean, pool was nice for a sw the next day, checking in was easy and staff were friendly. Only thing I found was the bed was a bit hard but I'm someone who prefers a softer bed. Would recommend for a cheap stay.

Older building so if you are looking for a brand new hotel with modern fixtures this is not it. However very clean and conveniently located
THE GOOD
The parking is VERY secure. Location is excellent. 5-15mins walk to entertainment eateries etc.
Balcony door so if you are a person who doesn't like being 'closed in' there is plenty of fresh air
Staff very friendly and helpful with information and guidance. Whole building quite clean, foyer smells pleasant. Rooms dated but well maintained
THE BAD
My double bed was just two singles pushed together. My aircon was a little louder than I would

Very convenient to everything. The Hotel itself needs some TLC and refurbishment in apartments. Very tired looking but clean and location suits our purposes . The the unit we had this time was dirty hardly had any cutlery even though it was an apartment. The pots and pans were greasy and very old. Only had one breakfast bowl. We had to defrost the fridge before we could put anything in it. The grout on the floor in the bathroom was disgusting and hadn't been cleaned for a very long time the same for the drain cover. The longer had white marks inground into the fabric. For the price they have charged

Dirty, Dirty, Dirty. We booked here for a night out after my Xmas work do in Brisbane as we are from the Gold Coast. We got to the room and as it is December in Brisbane we turned on the air con on but it was hardly pumping air out and what air was coming out was not very cold. So we opened the cover and it was very dirty. Then we saw so much mould and dirt in the outward air flow area we new we could not stay in the room. Then we started looking elsewhere and found plenty of mould in the bathroom too. Mould is dangerous. As the cricket was on there were no other rooms available so we left and

When finally arriving to our room, the barrel lock was literally hanging from the door. The shower was poorly maintained, the shower head clearly needing replacing and attacking our faces as we showered, and the soap holder loosely held in by one screw. The air conditioner dripped during the night, and when notifying reception of the issue it was very much a we know but said they couldnt do anything about it.
Regrettably, I dont recommend this hotel.

My young daughter and I stayed here for the night and it was the worst experience of our life. The room decor and appliances were old and dirty. The air conditioner was very old it almost blew up, it woke us from our sleep at 1am screeching and shooting ice across the room and then stopped working.We had no sleep from this and it was extremely hot! It is disgraceful the hotel had the nerve to charge me $160 a night!I would not recommend this hotel!
