Room was spotless, bed was super comfortable and all together provided a very peaceful sleep. Loved the cute little motel restaurant and definitely recommend the curry. Shuttle bus service makes getting to and from the airport one less thing to worry about whilst travelling. Extremely friendly and helpful staff ( thanks Julia ), with your help and kindness you are... More

stayed there as a stop-over after having read some good reviews. as a matter of fact, besides being somewhat close to the airport (the cab driver will take some 20 bucks) thats about it. dont get me wrong, room was spacious and clean... no complaints... but everything above 3 stars is not justified (in my opinion), and i dont expect...

Upon arrival we were impressed. The lady on reception was friendly and sorted us out quickly. The rooms were spacious and clean and modern with a nice outdoor area. Reception gave us extra bottles of milk when we asked. They even have a little cafe which we didnt go to as meals sounded a little expensive. Instead we ordered pizza... More

We found this to be an above average airport Motel. The room was modern,comfortable and clean with a nice little patio area at the back. The reception and service was excellent. We had driven up from NSW and arrived an hour early for dinner, not realising that Queensland does not observe Daylight Saving. Christine was very flexible and we were... More

Well worth a stay, reception was fantastic and the room was perfect, lots of new stuff and quite frankly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, better than my own and that's a good one... I was impressed by the attention to detail that has gone into this accommodation, new LED lighting, new TV plates, bowls etc all in... More

In addition, we had about 15 people traveling with us, arriving at various times and on different days. Well ahead of our travel dates, I communicated with both Julia and Chris at the Palms, both of whom were... More

The rooms are clean, comfortable with enough room for luggage and they have real milk for making the morning coffee with!! 7 minute walk to train station that takes you into the centre of Brisbane and plenty of car hire...

This hotel was more than I expected. I was travelling with my 8 year old daughter and was wary that we would not find something that would suit us given our budget. However this place was aweaome. Our flight got in at 11.55pm and we got a taxi to the motel. Although it was after hours the lady was kind... More

Good motel to choose when using Brisbane airport. Clean and quiet with some interesting decorating details. One problem - the website says that the motel is 5 minutes walk from Northgate train station. NOT TRUE! Even at a trot and unencumbered with luggage it would take a good 10 minutes. As it was it took us half an hour along... More
