Not up to snuff

Not sure why this got an 8.4 rating. The room was shabby and the bed was uncomfortable. It was reasonably clean, but thin walls and loud people in smoking area out back. There was no hot water in the shower. Website says it has a restaurant, which is why I booked it for a layover, so I wouldn't need to leave to find dinner, but that's wrong. No restaurant, just instant ramen in the minibar. I was directed to a sports bar down the street. Would stay somewhere else if I lay over in Brisbane again.

Prior to booking, I checked Hotels.com to ensure this motel had a restaurant. Hotels confirmed it did, but it did not (a toaster doesn't make it a restaurant). NOT IMPRESSED. We stayed on the bottom floor of the motel. We had to put up with thudding noises above us for hours before it subsided (I guess they went to bed). ON Sunday morning there was no hot water. We chose to leave and have a proper breakfast without being able to shower.
