This is the second time we have stayed here. Since our last visit they have done a remodel. If you want to be close to the airport this is a great place to stay. The rooms are clean, bed was comfortable and the area was quiet. The Brisbane wharf is an easy walk with some great restaurants to enjoy.

What a great location for the racecourses, not far from the airport and public transport is right out the front. The rooms are very well laid out, enjoyed the variety of the light breakfast, swimming pool was great to cool off and the couple who ran Airport 85 were lovely.

Brisbane stay

Convenient to the airport and access to motorways. Also directly opposite Doomben railway station which gave us an easy way to travel into the city. One downside was the lack of parking, insufficient for the number of rooms which were all occupied on the weekend.

Comfortable room for a two night stay

Perfect place to stay for a couple of nights between flights. Only downside was having an upstairs room with all our luggage (might have been different if we were 10 years older). Room comfortable and clean. Added bonus was the breakfast (except we missed it on day two as we left too early!!).
