Won’t be staying here again
Hotel is in a good location, however what let it down is its customer service. Upon check-in we were told that we would get drink vouchers. After 15 minutes of waiting, we were told someone would bring them to our room. 2 days later we are still waiting Then in addition, we were out all afternoon and evening and come in at 12 o’clock at night and our room has still not been cleaned. Wet towels on the floor bed not made bins not empty. When we contacted reception at midnight twice to clean rooms, the response was yes and when we asked why house are not been clean no explanation was given. The morning at 11:15 which admitting late is 15 minutes after checkout we had a knock on the door from somebody it looked like they just come off the street to clear the rooms. When we caught the lift to go down Kurt in hospitality to make the guest get the lift first before the employee. This employee just pushed in front and got in the lift first. We will not be back.

Staff, room, dining, restaurant was fabulous. Our TV didn’t work - we did, take the remote down to reception for new batteries & report it when left for the evening, it wasn’t actioned or sorted before checkout. Didn’t impact out stay too much, but would have been better.

The parking is atrocious as it is open to the public. I witnessed other customers complaining about parking too. When you pay so much for your room there needs to be a parking space available as we have luggage to bring in & need access to our cars instead of parking down the road. Also paying $35 a head for breaky is very expensive when you have teenage grandchildren & there was not a lot of options!

If you are looking for accommodation close to Brisbane Showgrounds this is the Hotel for you. Good clean rooms modern Hotel with good dining options. Hotel Team are professional, friendly and courteous. Breakfast in restaurant is very clean with a great variety of fresh foods on offer. Hotel will be even closer to transport once the new Station opens 200mtrs away. Recommend this Hotel.
