Liked: Cleanliness
The room itself was pretty good. The location for convenience was good. There are only two issues: 1. It was hard to get some fresh air into the unit as every time we left the balcony door open the noise of ambulances was quite loud, being right next to the hospital 2. The room wasn't serviced during our 6 night stay. I must have missed this in the room details as I was a bit surprised given the nightly cost.

We stay here every time my husband has a hospital visit. It’s clean, spacious and within walking distance to the hospital. The staff are friendly and accommodating and always check in by phone the day before. Breakfast is simple but very convenient and much appreciated. I would highly recommend this hotel if you have someone in hospital or just staying on the Northside of Brisbane.
