I stayed here due to a work function held close by and was overall very disappointed. Check-in for myself and several other guests was close to 10 minutes each, even though our rooms were already fully paid for. The beds in my twin-room were not comfortable and had only one light cover and sheet and no extra blankets. The air... More

We selected this hotel purely on its proximity to the Gabba which was only a few minutes walk away. It is also only a block away from the picturesque Brisbane River and cliffs. Just metres away from the hotel are plenty of fast food joints, restaurants and a convenience store. Our one bedroom apartment had been recently refurbished and was... More

Very close too and an easy walk to The Gabba, the only reason we chose this to attend a game. Place has obviously been done up on the outside and looks quite reasonable, however, the units are quite old and basic. Check in was a very slow experience, but to be fair, a lot of people all arrived at the... More

Had to do some work in the city from out of town and found Motel Southern Cross. For me it was ideally located and with parking in the city normally at a premium, I found their free parking perfect. Staff were pleasant when I arrived and attentive which I found nice. Room was done to a good standard and was... More

This pace is terrible .. Cheap yes. Card access wouldn't work, phone not connected, no a/c controller, no extra blanket. Staff finally found a controller and a blanket that my dog would think twice about lying on. We ran out of accom options for the night. Next time we will drive on. Take our advice, it's not worth the cheap... More

I needed accommodation in a hurry and $120 per night isnt a lot to pay so it served its purpose I guess. A local told me that a brothel operated from the top floor, and from what I saw with some late comings and goings, it could be true. I stayed in what they called a 1 bedroom suite. I... More
