We arrived late at night to find our key in a box by the office door. Our room was right off the parking lot. It was a very basic room but it was clean and relatively comfortable. The included breakfast was decent. We headed back to the airport early the next morning. One would not have wanted to spend any... More

At $145 per night it is not at that level. The rooms are adequate. Neat & Tidy, good flat screen tv. It was noisy as per a normal airport transit hotel people coming in late leaving early so expect it. It has a microwave and a toaster, sometimes comes in handy. The only thing i found was the cleaner had... More

Thank you for your for your review. Unfortunately we cannot do much about the train whistle although they do not operate before 6am when the first train leaves the station. It would be great if we could get the trains to sound the whistle a further 50 meters away but safety regulations are in force. The cleaners are small in... More

We checked-in very late (after 12:00 am) and could not figure out how to open the box with the key. No worries, we got help almost right away. The rooms are basic but clean and we (who are somewhat picky) had no complains. While the price of $143 for us was too high for this type of accommodations at a... More

Stayed at this motel which was booked through a corporate travel agent. On arrival the motel manager asked me to present my credit card for payment security and debited the 3 nights of accommodation. No problem with this as this seems to be standard practice at most hotels and motels I've stayed at. I was was told by the motel... More

A decent, no frills motel. I picked it because of its proximity to the Brisbane Airport, as my flight was arriving in Brisbane about 1 am, so I wanted a place fairly nearby. The owner Tom was friendly and helpful and the room we booked (family room) was basic but clean and comfortable enough, and reasonably priced. There are some... More

This is the motel of choice (read cheap) for a number of mining and oil and gas related companies. Make no mistake they rule the roost here and as with most miners, they like to party before they go out to the deserts. The owners survive with these companies so don't expect any help for noise, swearing etc. I have... More

Sorry we did not meet your expectations and I hope next time your mining company books you in you will be the only minor here. Management can only control noise if they are notified . More

The motel is about 10 minutes away from the airport and is, therefore, a very convenient place to stay. Restaurants are fairly close, as is the City Cat water taxi. The rooms are clean and have coffee and tea, cookies, and fresh milk available. The breakfast is good and dinner can also be ordered. But it's the hosts that really... More

The major, if only advantage of this hotel is its location near Brisbane airport. Rooms are very very basic but clean. Disadvantage is rooms open onto courtyard/parking lot. Group of drunk women sitting on their balcony above my room gabbing loudly was extremely annoying and was eventually handled by staff. The $175 price would be half that in any U.S.... More

I thoroughly recommend Best Western's Airport 85 motel if you're in need of a place near Brisbane airport. Make no mistake - this ain't no 5 star hotel! But it's clean and beautifully located. The rooms are well set out, spacious and welcoming. It's easy to find, with simple directions on the website. It's certainly not walking distance from the... More

We regularly stay in this motel when we need to spend a night in Brisbane prior to a flight the next day. It's quiet and clean and we have a ground floor room so no dragging heavy bags upstairs.
