It was a beautiful room.

Wow has this place deteriorated. We were warned but had always enjoyed our meals here. Ordered the meals and was overcharge by $40! Had to query this! Got our nachos. It was as a generous serve of corn chips, spread with tomato paste (yes PASTE straight from the jar), some melted cheese, 3 dollops of bottled, highly preserved guacamole, 2 dollops of sour cream like stuff, some pork (not pulled as per description) in a sauce with an underlying unpleasant taste and the tiniest sprinkle of salsa. Really can’t understand how someone can stuff up nachos so badly; it’s an insult to Mexican food. This was washed down with a $6 glass of soda water. I left half of the food but still had stomach pains 24 hours later

I was only here for one night and that was mainly due to an appointment the following morning within travelling distance from this location. And I wanted to get away from hustle & bustle of CBD especially with a vehicle. The staff were prompt in responding to emails for assistance with various things prior to my stay which I found pleasing. They were just as helpful during my stay also I enjoyed my stay. Rooms were clean with all facilities available. No issues with noise. The 2 drink vouchers for the bar were nice. Enjoyed them whilst watching sports are the bar. Breakfast included, was only a small pack but that was sufficient. Few shops, cafes, restaurants nearby. Ample carparking. Wifi worked well. TV in room. Overall good place and highly recommended

Couldn’t even bring myself to sleep here even 1 night, the smell of dog pee on the carpets was vile..To be completely honest I went into the bathroom and told my husband if I were to shower here I’m going to the nearest woolworths and buying bleach to bleach down the shower (soap scum and shower muck) everywhere. Still didn’t have a shower there ! And if that wasn’t to top it off we went to the kitchen to put food away the fridge was dirty. Got a plate out of the cupboard to eat and it wasn’t even cleaned properly... very disappointed (as the photos on the internet showed a clean motel room) not what we arrived too...

There are all kinds of facilities in the room, the bed is very comfortable to sleep on, the surroundings are very quiet at night, and I can sleep until dawn. The price is not particularly expensive in comparison, it is very suitable for business travel and family travel. The water, milk and snacks in the picture are all free.

This motel is spotlessly clean and very comfortable and well priced. My room had a small balcony and was very well appointed with a fridge, microwave, cutlery and crockery and clothes airer (which are very rarely supplied in my experience but very useful). There is a washing machine and dryer available for guest use at a nominal cost. The location is great with a good bus service into the city and some major hospitals from virtually outside the door. A supermarket, pharmacy and some takeaways and restaurants are within an easy walk. And the managers Danielle and Pete are exceptionally helpful and kind - going out of their way to provide assistance and information. I was in Brisbane because of a family emergency and they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed which was a huge help. Highly recommended accommodation!

What a great experience we have just had (18-20 Aug 23) From friendly check-in to efficient check out. Stayed in Villa which was comfortable and clean. Beds were very comfortable giving a solid nights rest for both nights. Was tired on first night so ordered in from restaurant - food was excellent with steak cooked perfect to order and all food delivered hot and within 20mins of order. Very quiet as we were right at the back of a very big complex. This may be different if your room is closer to the main road at the front of the complex. Breakfast restaurant staff friendly especially Cho who wasnt shy to share a laugh, very helpful - it all added to a great experience for us all. We had to pick up a very delicate birthday cake the next morning (for 1st Bday)which the Chef kindly allowed us to store in kitchen cooler until needed. Staff more than happy to help. Buffet was more than adequate for 3 hungry people and a la carte (great range) was very tasty. Buffet refreshed constantly with Chef watching on constantly. Only (minor issue) was shower which was a little underpowered and slow to drain. NOTE: Book through hotel site as you may end up paying 'booking fee' Glad we found this gem as we travel NSW - Brisbane often. This is our new go to

Paid for an upgrade to a room at the back after reading reviews describing noise levels. Glad we did because this motel fronts a busy motorway and still traffic noise at a bearable level from back row room. Room was large and very clean although 2 small living cockroaches in bathroom. Husband found bed to be perfect but I had trouble sleeping on it. You can’t please everyone. When we arrived around 5pm the main door to the office was locked but a fellow, either a customer or worker was sitting on a waiting area seat in the reception area and told me the manager was not there but I could use a side door. That was no problem as within a minute or 2 the manager arrived and I told him who I was and he remembered I had called an hour before to check on the availability of a suite rather than a room. Only thing that stopped me short of giving 5 stars was the manager’s apparent distain at having to serve a customer. The dear man couldn’t have looked or come across to me as more put out by having to attend my booking. He offered very little information. When I asked about the wifi password ( wifi did not work at all by the way, even with instructions ) he disinterestedly told me it’s on the back of the key. Also on the back of the key was information on what to do if the tv gives a no signal message. I don’t know why he couldn’t be bothered to explain that. So all up, he was a very poor ambassador for the motel and could easily, single handily ruined the start of someone’s vacation vibe with his “ can I just get this over and done with” vibe. I maintained my chirpy and happy disposition in the meagre attempt of cheering up this poor soul. Alas, it wasn’t to be although when I asked about distances /directions to a venue we were to attend, old mate, worker/customer was all for telling me everything I needed to know. Thank goodness I had him to share the information I needed because once that key was in my hand, Mr manager had done his part and no further talk appeared to be necessary! Maybe HE needs a holiday? Other than that, the suite was suitable for a longer stay with microwave, cooktop, kettle and mini fridge/freezer. There was adequate crockery , cutlery, pans, toaster and washing up items to be able to prepare food for 2. We only stayed the one night and did not eat dinner or breakfast from the dining room on site. I knew about the dining room from reading reviews, not Mr Manager.

Quiet, comfortable and well positioned if you need accommodation on the south side of Brisbane. Friendly staff and plenty of off street parking but I would highly recommend arriving and departing outside of morning or afternoon peak traffic to make getting in or out of the entrance easier.

Really enjoyed a few lunches at the hotel lately. We have a member of our family though who is Vegan and strictly dairy-free. It would be wonderful if the pub could consider some more Vegan-Friendly options on the menu as it would certainly provide us with a reason to return more often. In this day and age not everyone can eat meat or dairy. The Buddha Bowl is something healthier they offer and it was fresh and tasty. Unfortunately we ordered the Margherita Pizza on the Order At Table on mobile functionality it stated this Pizza came with Vegan cheese. We thought that was great. Of course the pizza came with regular cheese and I had to check with the staff who apologised and said that no, there was no vegan cheese on premises. They were very polite but it was disappointing that both the online menu was wrong, and that this fairly simple alternative wasn't on offer. Hopefully we see some more plant-based options on the menu in the future! The kids meals are great value.
