We'll come back to Mantra Brisbane
Pros:

The location is fantastic. Staff are friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. Unexpected early checking was awesome and valet parking was great.

Cons:

The chair in the room was about as comfortable as sitting on a rock, one of the two mugs in the room had a crack running half way around it.
