We stayed 2 nights in Brisbane at this hotel and found it a lovely change from the run of the mill hotels we usually stay in.
As soon as you enter the door, it had a nice feel to it , though there was work going on at the time and it was in plain sight of all the guests coming through into the lobby. It would have been better to put some kind of curtain up so we couldn't see all the paint tins and debris left on the floor over the weekend.
The lift going up to the room was like stepping back in time and was a real pleasure to see and ride in one of the old elevators instead of the classic mirrored and enclosed ones.
We were upgraded to a lovely 2 bed suite and it was lovely.
It had a kitchenette and coffee and tea with biscuits.
The breakfasts provided were continental . This was in with the price of the room and were served in the restaurant which was light and airy .the buffet had everything you could wish for and coming from England , I must say , we were amazed at how big the slices of bread were. We would call them door stops.
All in all our stay was wonderful. The ease of getting there from the station was great, and with two big suitcases with us, it needed to be.
The only problem for us was , my husband and I couldn't sleep together as the bed was too small (he is 1.94meters tall) . Still I had the best nights sleep ever in my own bed and bedroom.
Thank you for making our stay in Brisbane so special and we would definitely stay here again if we come back to brisbane.

Thank you so much for the review. It was our pleasure to have you here - so lovely to get to know you.
Don't think I've ever had the problem of the tall husband mentioned before! though I'm sure it's not the first time it's been a problem for you in terms of bed size. Though all our beds are queen size, I completely recognise how challenging it would be for someone nearly 2m tall to lie comfortably. Least one of you had a decent night's sleep or two or three!!
Take your point about the renovations. Thankfully they are nearly complete. We did have a screen up at one point and then everyone wanted to look at what we were doing so we didn't continue with it. One guy actually caused it to topple over whilst trying to peek over it!!
I am so glad you left our Hotel and our lovely city of Brisbane with, on the whole, such favourable memories. It is such a long trip to Australia and I am pleased we contributed to it being worth your while.
We do hope we might see you again - you never know!!
Kindest regards and happy travels.
Liz
