    Staff do not seem particularly well trained and could do with more staff during breakfast. The hotel had lost my booking, which after some searching was fortunately able to be retrieved.

    The room was clean and comfortable. One of the reasons for choosing this hotel was for the free parking and breakfast. Breakfast was good without being outstanding.

    Lacks sound proofing/full door coverage for bathroom - so better to be fairly comfortable with whomever you're sharing the room with - one door, which either closes off the whole bathroom, or the shower section. One of the room keys didn't work for the room door entry. Complimentary breakfast had a range of simple choices, enough to kick-start your day.

    Comfortable, clean room with the basics of what you need for a night's stay. Booked last minute and was a reasonable price still, including a self-service continental breakfast. Easy checkin & checkout. Updated bathrooms, with interesting door/design, but offering less privacy than standard designs would. Did appreciate the nod to Brisbane City with the river and city plan reference.

    Due to getting a room early we didn't get the 2 single beds we wanted but made do. The shower being kind of see through was a bit awkward when staying with my teenage son.

    Staff went out of their way to get us a room early and to find alternate car parking for us as theirs was full. I wasn't expecting much from breakfast for the price but it was actually really good! Would recommend

    Air conditioning kept turning off, they reset it but it still didn't work properly. Toothpaste should be complimentary. Breakfast is usually good but they had run out of bacon. Not good enough! Room had a musty smell and didn't feel clean.

    Great location and friendly staff at reception. Great for one night. Good shower pressure and bathroom toiletries.

    Chromecast was difficult to work out. Called reception for help and they said they would send someone to have a look for us. No one turned up. I figured it out myself after 30 mins and changing a few tv settings.

    Clean room, modern facilities, good breakfast and comfy bed and pillows.

    Bed was on the hard side but ok. Would have liked to have been closer to the shopping and restaurant hub but for more agile people everything was in walking distance of around 500mtrs. We chose to Uber it.

    Very clean room with everything we needed for a shirt start. Breakfast and parking were included which was great. Breakfast was lovely.

    Booking.com did not tell the property that we booked twin beds until the morning of our arrival. When we arrived at the hotel they informed us of this and said that we may have to change rooms for the second night and have to share a bed. The staff were amazing in trying to work out a difficult situation. Booking.com needs to have better communication than just advising the property day of booking.

    Great location, great rooms

    The stay met my expectations, the staff were helpful. A plus for the free WiFi, which worked without reservation. The breakfasts were tasty, although the same every day. It's a pity that there were no cheeses during breakfast.

    The toilet in Room 412 was backed up, although I only noticed this prior to check out as previous nights I was back from work late and straight to bed - the contents were not mine LOL - I tried to report the issue on check out but I do not believe that the lady at reception understood what I was saying. I was however concerned that this had not been spotted by the Cleaner previously, either in my time in the room or previous patrons - the fault certainly caused some odour!

    Breakfast was good and easy to obtain but I would have preferred a 6.30am start on Saturday rather than 7am as I needed to be at work as early as possible that day but this was a minor inconvenience.
