We stopped here for one night as we flew into Brisbane Airport in the evening and needed to be out again by 7 the next morning (it’s about 10 mins in a cab from the airport). Fortunately we arrived just as the reception was closing up for the night .Had we been 5 minutes later we would have had to find our keys in the wall safe and make our own way to our room. The couple that greeted us were very friendly and stayed around to book an early morning cab for us.
We booked and pre paid on the motel website, after searching on Brisbane Airport. The website gives the impression of a modern, plush motel, but it isn’t – it’s seen better days.
It’s very basic, but having said that the room was clean, contained two large beds, tea and coffee making facilities, tv on a wall bracket and a fridge. The motel has no restaurant, but we did spy one next to the car park and a supermarket just up the road. The blurb says that the motel is on the riverside, what it doesn’t say is that between the river and the motel runs a very busy main road. Our room had secondary double glazing but we could still hear the rumble of traffic. I don’t know whether rooms on the opposite side of the motel are any quieter.
If you want a cheap stopover and are used to city noise – it’s fine.
