The hotel is conveniently located near Suncorp Stadium, making it great for event-goers. The rooms, although well-appointed, can be noisy due to nearby railway tracks. The service is friendly and accommodating, although lacking in uniformity. The location is ideal for exploring the city, but there are occasional disturbances outside the hotel. The dining options are diverse and offer a nice breakfast spread. Overall, a decent choice for a short stay in Brisbane.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed bag of experiences. On the bright side, the rooms looked over the train station and were big and comfortable, offering a well-sized and well-presented accommodation. However, there were a few downsides like the presence of iffy individuals around the hotel and transit center, though the location was perfect with easy access to major attractions and transport facilities.

I had a great night's sleep in a quiet room on the city side, although the facilities felt a bit dated compared to other Holiday Inns. The service was outstanding, with friendly staff who even left a fruit salad for us. The location, right next to the train station, was ideal for transportation, but it was a few blocks walk from central Brisbane. The dining experience was fantastic, especially the juicer with a big variety of fruits and veggies. The facilities were good, but some areas like the TV and channels could be improved.
