Brisbane iner city is great and the hotel is in an amazing position.
Pros:

The perfect location in Brisbane. Walk everywhere..southbank, casino, food etc. Nice and quiet. We had view out to the "wheel and river".

Cons:

I understood they are having renovations, this was explained when booking. BUT the very small space into the carpark was a bit worrying and I went to the next level up but this was closed due to reno..luckily a staff member guided me to turn and get back out onto the street, and turn in again.

Easy parking in their garage if your car is small!
Pros:

This old hotel has large rooms and updated bathrooms, great location access to downtown Botanic Garden and restaurants

Cons:

It’s currently being remodeled so some areas are mess. I am sure it will be wonderful once completed.
