Location was great! Close to train stations and South Bank Cafes and the river. Walk over the bridge into the CBD of Brisbane. I would definately stay again.

Had a great stay on the whole, lovely and clean and very comfortable beds. Very disappointed in the buffet breakfast through. The pancake machine wasn’t working initially and the gentleman I kept asking about it wasn’t really interested. Then we found the chocolate milk my daughter was drinking was out of date by 6 days and when I went back to the waiter he didn’t say a word, just took it from me and went to have a look at the other dates. No sorry, nothing! I know stuff like that happens (although it really shouldn’t in a 4 1/2 star hotel) but a sorry wouldn’t have gone astray!
