I was caught short booking at my usual motel for the Brisbane Airport and had little choice left having to book-in that day. When I checked the motels own internet booking service, apparently they had regular rooms available, but when I rang to confirm only 'Deluxe' rooms were available, for a hefty tarriff of $170 for the night. Book-in was... More

This was not cheap as far as motel's go but it was close to the airport - 10 minutes drive away. We arrived at 21:00 and ther wasn't anywhere to get dinner apart from fast food joints....we ended up putting our luggage in the room and then using our GPS to find the nearest 'restaurant ' tthat was open (KFC...

Booked over the internet for a 2 bedroom unit overnight for convenient access to the airport. It was listed as a four-star establishment. In our opinion, it is nothing like that! On arrival, I went into an empty reception area and called out several times with no response. In order to get some assistance, I used my mobile to call... More

We booked this room over the internet for one nights stay to go to the airport early morning. We booked a Queen deluxe room (queen bed and single bed) as well as a portacot for our 2 adults and 2 preschoolers. Unfortunately the room was tiny and with a portacot there was barely enough room to move around. There was... More

All round very good. Well maintained and serviced. Very good location whether needing the airport or the city. Close to new shops at the river (5 min walk). Breakfast available. The pool whilst small is very clean and nicely set. Minimal road noise as rooms well located toward rear of block behind main building. A little expensive but overall worth... More

We chose this motel for a one night stay between flights in october 2010. We mainly chose it based on the location and price, and were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and how friendly the staff were. The motel is a short taxi trip from the airport (about $25) and you get a free transfer back to the airport. Rooms... More

Avoid this place at all cost. Like most airport hotels/motels in Brisbane it is quite far from the airport, we were therefore specifically looking for a motel which would offer a shuttle service. Unfortunately the meaning of shuttle is lost to the operators of this motel. There is no transport to from the airport so add a $30 taxi trip... More

We do offer a complimentary shuttle to the Airport (which the guests used). The shuttle is operated by another Company and is the only Company that does Airport transfers in the area. We offer this service complimentary to our guests. More
