Stayed here recently and had a great experience. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet, which is exactly what you want after a long day. The staff were friendly and welcoming, check-in was quick, and everything just worked the way it should. The included breakfast was a nice bonus too. I went down planning on a light breakfast and somehow left feeling like I'd prepared for a marathon. The location made it easy to get around, and the overall experience was excellent value for money. No complaints at all – I'd happily stay here again.

The hotel location is excellent and very convenient. However, the cleanliness was far below what I would expect from a Holiday Inn based on my experiences in other countries. During my two-week stay, housekeeping standards were disappointing. It often seemed that the bed linens were not properly changed, and at times it felt like only the bed cover was replaced while the bedding underneath remained the same. This made me lose confidence in the overall hygiene of the hotel. Because of these concerns, I even purchased my own towel and avoided eating or drinking at the hotel, as I no longer felt comfortable with the cleanliness standards. I hope the hotel management takes customer reviews seriously, especially the many comments regarding housekeeping and cleanliness, and works to improve these areas. The location is great, but the cleaning standards need significant attention.

The rooms were clean and large, very close to Central station. One should note this hotel is on a hill, Not an issue for me but might be for one that is mobility impaired. I suspect this hotel had a great view of the city until a building was built beside it. Staff and check in was polite, fast and efficient. The breakfast was not up to expectations compared to other Holiday Inn Expresses that I have stayed at. It was not bad, just average. That is where they lost a star. Loved the free video games at the front. No one took advantage of it while I was there. Would I stay again? Maybe, if the breakfast improved.

Absolute disgusting smell in bathroom coming from either the drain or aircon. I stayed 5 nights and it was my third time here. Shower curtain was mouldy and they replaced it when asked with one that was too short so water went all over the floor. I had requested an early check in both via email and phoning the hotel and was made to wait in reception for 40 mins after receptionist said she would get housekeeping to clean a room. The indian guy on reception was then rude and said i hadn't requested early check in. Not a good way to treat a regular who stays 6 weeks a year in Brisbane hotels and also a rewards member. The hallways need vacueming. The breakfast is pretty good and a main reason i stayed here though there is room for improvement. Coffee is rubbish. I think I'll be staying elsewhere in the future. Gone downhill.

I’ve stayed here a few times now but this will be the last time - the customer service is well below expectation for a IHG branded hotel. After my last stay a few months I vowed never to return but here I am and the same issue all over again. I cannot understand in a lobby with only 5 x guests sitting around and 3 staff the service is slow. I ordered a very simple dish lamb kofas and are 40 mins gave up and went to bed. During this period the staff approached me to ask did I order a seafood basket to which I replied no. They put the food on the bar and left it there for 5 mins before picking it up and walking around again. Given no one else had ordered food I can only assume it was for me and the kitchen had made a mistake. Anyway , the exact same thing happened last stay - but don’t worry they still charge you for it. My recommendation bypass this hotel. Diamond Elite Member
