DECOMMISSION THIS PLACE. We could not even spend 5 minutes in the room due to the smell of mould and cigarettes. We requested our security deposit back immediately and left. The lift was out of use, dirty stairwell & hallways, smelt of urine and cigarettes. PowerPoints hanging from walls, poorly patched holes in walls. Want our money back, will be taking this further with health authorities.

Location is great but there were lots of issues with the room. Not clean, carpet stained and hadn't been vacuumed. Mildew in shower, taps broken and the cold water was actually the hot water so dangerous too. Frig was rusty and cupboards broken, hole in the wall. At least the bed was good.

The rooms are entirely inferior to photos.The facility is unkept and dirty with toilet not flushing and taps leaking.The photo promoting the facility is a photo of an impressive building which is actually the treasury building and not remotely close to the facility.Expedia jeopardises its reputation with its association.I was booked for a week but left after one night.Will discourage anybody to stay at the facility

Extremely poorly patched Hole in the wall of my room. Cups and plates were still dirty from the last guests. Small holes throughout room and even in the door that was just plugged up with bits of a chux cloth. Was the cheapest hotel I could find on short notice ($125 a night) which is quite cheap, but it wasn't a pleasant stay.

The proximity to Brisbane centre is great, staff were friendly but condition of room was not as advertised stains on carpet graffiti on the bathroom door and room smelt damp. There was no shower curtain therefore everything in the bathroom got wet. If amenities were improved it would be nicer.

There were small cockroaches in the room, a strange bug in the bed, black scuff marks on wall, chipped paint, grey doors for a tiny room with 1ft perimeter around bed. Was like a prison cell. Shower gel for one night instead of 5.

The smallest and most run down room I've ever stopped in. It may be cheap but it's still overpriced, do yourself a favour and spend a bit more. Not recommended.

Paid for a Queen bed - got 2 single beds lazily kept together with a sheet & so a crap night's sleep was had. No teaspoons or stirrers in the coffee rack in room.  Overpriced for their shoebox sized rooms & service.

The sink had been smashed and the stuck back together. Many of the electric plugs didn’t work. The tea and coffee making facilities were totally inadequate with no tea bags or milk. The reception on the TV was appalling and the TV broke down on the morning of my departure. Also very unhappy that my ID was photographed rather than just being sighted. I have stayed in many three star hotels around the world all better than this.

I stayed here for the location to the SunCorp Stadium - I walked. The hotel is sketchy. The room smelled. The bathroom had no shower curtain and when the curtain arrived, it was short. When I showered the water spilled into the other areas of the bathroom floor. The room had no towels, wash cloth, or bar soap and I had to ask for it.
