Get a free ride to the airport in the shuttle bus!
If you are flying out of Brisbane, or even flying in, let reception know what time and they will arrange the shuttle bus to transport you to the airport. Best of all, this extra service is completely free!
Negative Reviews
negative:
Not much in the way of amenities nearby.
This motel is not in the centre of Brisbane, in fact it's quite far away from the centre and there isn't much to do nearby. The lack of restaurants, shops, and pubs makes this quite a boring location.
negative:
There's no free Wi-Fi here, you have to pay extra.
If you're travelling on business and need to stay connected to the internet for work then you'll have to fork out some extra cash for Wi-Fi when you stay here. This place should really be providing free internet for guests.
negative:
Cleanliness is not good and insects are a problem.
The rooms here are not being looked after properly and housekeeping are failing to keep them clean and tidy. Another problem is creepy crawlies, which you might find scurrying around in your room.
