Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel advertises high-speed Wi-Fi and air conditioning in the rooms, but neither lived up to the promise. The Wi-Fi didn’t work in our room at all, which was a major problem for us as travelers without a cell plan who needed to make bookings for our trip. The air conditioning was equally frustrating—a small, outdated wall-mounted unit that shut off every six minutes. This left the room uncomfortably hot and kept us awake all night as I repeatedly had to turn it back on to get minimal relief. For $200 a night, this is absolutely unacceptable. It was, without a doubt, the worst hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. How this place is rated 8.4/10 is beyond me. To make matters worse, the location is incredibly inconvenient. There’s nothing nearby—just a gas station 15 minutes away by foot for snacks, and we couldn’t find any where near by with public wifi. It seemed like some rooms had proper window AC units, so maybe we were given one of their worst rooms, but the experience was honestly a joke. I wouldn’t recommend staying here to anyone.

Excellent for a short stay before departing on a cruise. Room was very clean with a nice comfy bed. Swimming pool was a bonus. Only downside was the noise of planes overhead and limited breakfast choices. Overall though I will stay again when I go on my next cruise out of Brisbane
