Self check-in didn't really work. Checked in on a public holiday so no staff available.Had to call emergency contact for instructions on how to get in. Prior communication with instructions would've been appreciated. Photos would suggest you're staying in the heritage building but this seemingly is only for the bar. Otherwise, decent stay and staff themselves were nice.
We enjoyed the room, the staff went out of their way to be helpful. Restaurant had a great selection of food for breakfast on weekend and dinner. Great location near stores and walking distance to water. Would love to return and stay again.

The room had a smell about it, musty, wet smell. The bathroom looked like it needed a deep clean as did the exterior of the premise. The food though was amazing, 5 stars for the food and room service other than I couldn’t order drinks through the App.
Reception office was tucked behind the hotel instead of at one of the front entrances.

Just an average place to spend a night on the road. Nothing flashy, nothing bad.

Unhappy customer
It’s was ok. We found most of the staff rude and not helpful. Our bathroom smelt sewage. The back of the rooms need gardens done. Didn’t have the drinks we liked. Food was very bad.
Check in was done in the drive through bottle shop with priority given to purchasing customers. After a long wait, we were given the key and left to find our own way. The hand basin in the bathroom was disgusting, as was the floor waste which stunk
I accidentally left my printer behind and staff went to great effort to get it to me. Much appreciated.
I do not like the dooner bed covering, too hot with it on and too cold without it. Ridiculous to have that type of bedclothes in Brisbane climate. Seems to be a world wide fashion and it is not good. Fashion of function.

Clean, friendly, comfortable basic hotel/motel!
Overnight stay before our flight following morning. Reception staff very helpful. Room bit dated but clean and all amenities. Bit disappointed as Hepburn restaurant picture on web page looked very swish but when arrived just a basic room at back of the pub/beer garden so went over the road to a fab little thai instead.
Unique amenities co-located with motel: restaurant, gambling, and bottle shop. Very busy during stay but staff were friendly and accommodating nonetheless. Speedy room service.
Always a great visit. Easy check in, clean and tidy rooms, easy parking
