For the price, it is adequate. The place would be at least forty years old, and it shows. The walls are cracked ( but repaired) as are the tiles in the bathroom. The double bed is quite hard and the noise from the road is still quite audible even though I am on the fourth floor. It is however, well... More

We had a short notice requirement for 2 Kiwi couples in Brisbane for 2 nights, preferably near the airport. Picked at random, the big boys were either full, expensive or too far away. The Hamilton wasn't rated very high but we thought we'd give it a go based on location and price. What we found was a very friendly and... More

It's hard to understand the star rating system. this Bribane motel ranks itself a 3.5 and some sites a 3, I think there needs to be a non star category. The rooms are spartan at best. My room looked onto what appears to be some sort of power plant with whirring fans. The room was warm and the air conditioning... More

We selected this property because of it's proximity to the airport ( probably accounts for the majority of bookings). The entire complex is very tired and outdated, we were amused at the painted random groove ply lining the rooms and hallways. The lift and stairwells are dirty and we discovered cigarette butts decorating the external staircase. We took advantage of... More

I was given a nights accommodation at this Hotel from a family member overseas as a Christmas gift to our family. It was booked for a 10am check in but when we got there at 10 am the reception told us to come back at 2pm. We did a sight seeing tour around Brisbane which was lovely until we went... More

Selected this from the wotif list of budget accomodation. from the descriptionon the website it sounded reasonable as was the price on offer. The reality could not have been worse. This might have been a good suburban motel in it's heydays but the property is looking so sick it would be close to terminal if it were human.The room facilities... More

I booked into the Hamilton Motor Inn due to my regular Hamilton motel being booked out. I must admit, for the price ($125), I was expecting a few more modern fittings to the room. The room itself was quite big with a large, comfortable bed and seperate coffee table and chairs but everything was getting that 'tired' patina. The people... More

We found the Hamilton Motor Inn to be reasonable value at $125.00 per night. Because it is on very busy Kingsford Smith Drive we asked for a room at the back of the building. A comfortable queen-sized bed, roomy bathroom, hot water, fairly clean. The air-conditioner was very noisy but we were able to open the sliding window about 15cm.... More

It was as you expect for a three star motel. Clean, accessible, friendly, great shower, comfortable bed, small flat screen TV but the room we stayed in, no. 4 looked directly over an electricity power sub-station. I tried to change rooms but the motel was fully booked. The irritating hum fom the station felt like my brain was being died.... More
