Booked in here by accident by a family member. What a horrible motel. The outside was shabby and the inside worse. Very basic and flimsy. Road noise bad and just across the road from a hotel carpark. Lots of noise late at night from that. The room we had was not even a proper motel unit and didn't have a... More

First impressions were that it looked a little run down but they kindly let me check in early (I'd just arrived from London), which improved my impressions instantly. The room was fine, tea and coffee provided and the two main things I judge a room by the shower and the bed could not be faulted. A short walk to racecouse... More

This is handy between Brisbane city and the international airport, but why else would you stay there? There are many other hotels in the area, costing the same or more, and this one is clean and comfortable. They coped very well with our very late check-in and late check-out.

Room was very basic and looks like it hasn't been renovated since the 70s. Not at all soundproof, could even hear the person next door clearing their throat! Didnt feel safe all night, curtains didnt even close properly. Went to check out in the morning, rang the buzzer twice and no one came. When someone did show up 20 mins... More

The motel is very basic and simple but in a perfect location if you are transiting to or from the Brisbane airport. I am a heavy sleeper and I found the location noisy in the night from the traffic along Kingsford Smith Drive, so I would not recommend it for light sleepers. Our room was a bit dated but everything... More

This motel is one off the cheaper motels near the water. It is situated in a great location. Easy walk to pub, eateries and ferry. The ferry can drop you off near Brisbane CBD. Although this motel is basic, it is clean and our bed was comfortable. We have stayed here twice now - once when going to the Eagle... More

We (my wife and I)stayed just for one night as it was close to the airport and a lot cheaper (A$115) than most of the other hotel / motels in the area. Pretty small although functional. Lacked a microwave or something to just be able to do some toast or something similar although we were able to borrow one from... More

We use this hotel as a landing point for trips leaving from Brisbane Airport. Close to the airport parking services, good food nearby, and quiet location. Rooms are basic, but comfortable. No breakfast included unfortunately, but only 5 minute walk to nearby eateries. Overall, recommended because of its price vs other hotels much more expensive nearby the airport not really... More

We used this motel as a stopover between two flights. It was 15 min from the airport in a taxi ($30). The lady at reception was very friendly and helpful. The room was a basic motel room, comfortable, clean and quiet. We paid $125 AUD having booked directly with them.
