A very basic hotel that is definitely not worth 4 stars
Pros:

Location is good

Cons:

I was charged a $75 extra cleaning fee on my card without permission when I left the hotel- the hotel staff said they out source their cleaning company and have no control over this, I asked for it to be refunded and they said no. Apparently staff had to stay “longer” to clean my room.

Overall a good place to stay, location and comfort wise. Most importantly the bed was comfortable
Pros:

Easy access to Fortitude Valley shopping/dining precinct. Bed was comfortable which was the main thing.

Cons:

2 of us in the room and only one face washer, we had to keep asking for an extra one along with toilet paper and tissues. My suggestion would be that if the toilet paper on the roll is nearly finished you leave another roll along with the tissues, if it is nearly empty perhaps just change it. Also the bedside light on the left side of the bed came loose and hung off the wall. We tried to fix it but it was still really loose which meant we couldn't adjust the light as it would fall off the wall.

Pros:

The first room we were allocated had an issue and we raised it, then the staff quickly moved us to another room, which was very nicely dealt with.
The room itself was clean and comfortable, but felt a little smaller than we expected for the price we paid. However, the location was great, so it convinced us that we paid for the location too. Overall, it was a good stay.

Cons:

The construction that was going on in front of the hotel. However it was informed on the website when we booked, so we were prepared for the noise..etc.
