Our room was booked for 3 adults for one night. Was a sudden discussion due to Brisbane road closures Our room was very basic, nicely presented & clean. The beds were very disappointing, steel frames that squeaked everytime you moved. They were nothing like the mattress & base beds in the website photos

The room was okay. Breakfast provided was extremely poor- cereal and bread nothing else. Breakfast for a 3rd person is just ridiculously priced at $14 for a bowl of cereal and piece of toast. Not recommended at all.

Hi Jason, our breakfast also includes tea coffee milk, apple and orange juice, 2 kinds of fruits, and yogurt. It is a continental buffet. 3 different kinds of bread with 7 choices of jams and butter, as well as 4 kinds of cereal. It is worth 14. Thank you!

Worst hotel I have stayed at. Have stayed in close to 500 hotels with this one being bed far the worse. 1. Not an airport hotel - is 8kms from the airport. 2. Room did not match description. Photos showed double bed and two single beds however it was a double bunk, not single beds. 3. Shower did not work more then a very poor trickle. 4. Construction site less then 2m from rear door of the room. Machinery and tool use noise stared at 5.30am. No where on the website does it warn that there is early morning construction taking place right next to room 5. A non designated parking space is located right in from of the door to the room. This meant that because someone had parked there, their car blocked access to our room. There was just enough spaces to squeeze through but not enough room to carry our suitcase. We had to lift the suitcases over the bonnet of the car to get out. Spoke to reception in the morning however he was not interested at all. Wouldn’t even get out of his chair so I could show him the car blocking our door.

Hi Helen, your husband abused our staff at reception in the morning and threaten us with a bad review to get your refund. This is not acceptable. 1. We are an airport motel with 10 min driving distance. 2. The room is what you booked online and match all the photos. 3. Shower is working normally. 4. Our neighbor is refurbishing their home and promised no big noise in the early morning. 5. We have on-site parking for all guests and there're two access into your room. Our staff are always friendly to help our guests.

Ridiculously small area for 5 people. There is a door between this and adjoining room which should be used. We have stayed in a number of family suites on our trip which cost less and have 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms.

Hi Theresa, when you booking 2 interconnecting rooms, we can open the door for you to connect 2 rooms. Please inform us in advance so we can arrange this for you. We only have 8 rooms available to connect. Thank you!

We arrived late due to delays in flight. We were surprised to find the fridge was stocked and various food items available to purchase if required. Although we didnt use we were impressed as now days most only offer tea coffee and milk. Alhough the premises are aged it was clean and comfortable. Well done will not hesitate to use again.

Clean and comfy.
We found the entire place clean inside and out. If you are sensitive to noise pack some earplugs. As I have previously read-the bunks squeak abit and the aircon is a little noisy- but nothing compared to my Husband's snoring! Pool was nice and refreshing with a lovely shade sail to protect from the sun. Enjoyed our stay and plan on coming back again.

Beware as the Airport shuttle is not running since “Covid” (so done with this poor excuse) and I felt deceived as I did book it with the shuttle in mind. Minibar not included and inflated prices. $4.00 small bottle of water at reception. The pool was dirty, so we didn’t use that. No lifts, no attempt to book our group with side by side rooms. Breakfast starts at seven, so you’ll miss it if you fly out early morning. Location not the greatest as there was construction all around the property.

We are no longer offering shuttle buses since covid, your booking time is September 9, 2023, all platforms have updated this information before this date, uber and taxi are cheaper, this is for the sake of saving money for all guests, no matter how tired you are of the word covid, this is just the truth, there is no cheating.The minibar is not included in the room rate, which is normal, as it is in all hotels/motels.A 4 small bottle of water is at the reception, it's a fact, you have every right not to buy it.We clean the pool every day and we disagree with your comment.There are no lifts, that's a fact as well, we're a 25-room motel, not a five-star hotel, it's normal not to have lifts.Breakfast starts at 7:00am, it's true too, so if you fly out early in the morning, you will miss it, which is also true, our breakfast is free, if you don't want to miss breakfast, you can book a later flight out. About our location, it's a 10-minute drive from the airport and across the road from the train station and bus stop. It's a great location.You are more than welcome to come again. Thank you

Bed was so hard and uncomfortable. Was only a double bed. Room was like being in a closet and not big enough for 2 people. Walls are paper thin and you could hear the conversation in the next room. Internet did not work in our room and considering everyone needs internet these days it was inconvenient to have to hot spot my phone. Nothing close around for meals. Do yourself a favour and stay in the city.

Good location, short taxi ride from airport. Across road from train station and bus stops. Short walk to grocery store and eating options. Easy late check in no need for internet or phone so great for international arrivals. Room comfortable. Some traffic noise in morning nothing bad but to be expected in city, not much at night or from trains. Wifi bit sketchy couldn't get it in my room. May not be case in other rooms. Nice outside seating area where got wifi. Luggage storage.

Comfortable room for a two night stay
Perfect place to stay for a couple of nights between flights. Only downside was having an upstairs room with all our luggage (might have been different if we were 10 years older). Room comfortable and clean. Added bonus was the breakfast (except we missed it on day two as we left too early!!).

Overall our room was reasonable but the bunk bed creaked and the reverse cycle A/C was also noisy. We were charged extra for luggage storage which has not happened to us in other places that we have stayed in. We also did not realise that we would have to pay extra for our children to eat the 'included' breakfast so we elected not to have it at all. Unfortunately the train to Doomben (the nearest train station) does not run on a Sunday so we had limited public transport options on this day. The price and location was reasonable.

Hello NaomiThank you for your review finding your stay with us great having lovely clean rooms. Our Daikin air conditioners are not noisy and serviced regularly.Upon check in you where explained that we offer a FREE complimentary continental breakfast for 2 guests per room also as advertised within the motel rooms and externally on all web sites for people to acknowledge this offer upon booking.We do not manage public transport system but do furnish our guests with as much information as possible upon there stay if guests prior personal organization has not occured. Upon your early arrival without prior notice we accommodated your luggage storage and upon checkout you also requested your luggage be stowed for an additional 8hr after checkout for a small fee that you agreed to. I am so pleased to hear our reception staff go out of there way for our guests.Overall we are glad you found our service, price and location great.

Hello Danielle,Thank you for your communication to us as you left no contact details, after your check out your room was inspected there was nothing wrong with the tv in the room it would have been through user operation of incorrect setting via the tv remote , additionally you could have notified reception that you did not via room phone and it would have been rectified with urgency. again nothing found faulty with toilet roll holder or soap dish.Guests check out time is by 10am as explained to you upon check in and as advertised through out motel and on all web sites, unless the guest requests a late check out then the motel may grant the request pending availability this again you did not ask for.The only thing wrong with your stay was the lake of respect to the motels room and property by the guest upon check out.

We only stayed at this property one night to be close to the airport for our departure the next morning. We did not expect to do anything special after checking in but the wonderful woman at the front desk mentioned Eat Streets which we decided to check out. What a wonderful way to cap off our Australian vacation! It was literally the cherry on top! Thank you!

OK But You Get What You Pay For
Close to the airport and a reasonable price but room had three single beds that were quite uncomfortable and the was no air circulation in the room. To be fair, we got this room because we requested a room change since the original was on the second floor and we cannot negotiate stairs.
