Last minute New Years Eve stay, room was great as we had views of the fireworks. We like the bar and restaurant near the foyer. Breakfast has lots of options and yummy omelettes, caters well for my gluten intolerance. Good convenient location, would book again. Walkable to restaurants and across the new bridge to the casino side of Brisbane.
