Thank you Dan for our review. It is perfect with our direct access to the city and local shopping centres and especially for events at Suncorp Staduim.We hope to welcome you again soon. Safe travels.Regards Christine
The rooms were fantastic and clean. Location is a bit of an issue with limited dining in the near vicinity.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Complaining Ned and shared photos to reception - no offer from f improvement still charged $395 a night . Bad internal comma RE late checkout to the point of badgering. Nice area - overpriced - no facilities and for an expensive hotel over a private hospital- dangerously dirty to inpatients. No opening was does either.

One of the cleanest hotels we have ever stayed in - absolutely spotless! Loved the space of the 1 bedroom. We will definitely be back!

Good overall, but parking (advertised as free) was actually $20 per night, and the car park didn’t have enough spaces for our second night in any case, apparently due to a concert,
As we’d booked based on needing a decent car space, this aspect was disappointing.

Have stayed here a few times now. Great location & awesome customer service. The staff are always friendly and cannot assist enough. The restaurant below is fab for breaky and being so close to Indropilly Shopping Centre is great for families with TimeZone and Cinemas etc. Will certainly stay again!

Very impressed. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, the parking was easy to find and plenty available and reasonably priced. Beautiful clean rooms and hotel. The main reason I would book again would be the staff. Very kind. I was outside waiting for a car in the rain and was offered an umbrella to take with me for the afternoon. Simple things go a long way. Very happy.

Thank you Nicole for sharing your experience with us and we are pleased you enjoyed our friendly staff and hotel. We do try to provide as much information as possible before arrival including confirmation letters with detailed information about the discounted car parking price.Our apologies for any inconvenience.Regards Christine
The staff at the Essence Suites are extremely kind, helpful and super efficient. The Suites was located 5 mins drive from the wedding venue we were attending and albeit was super handy for this it wasn’t close to much else. It’s great driving distance to a big shopping mall. Walking distance to hungry jacks it needs local cafes and shops to make this a much more convenient stay. I would stay at the essence again provided it was only for a couple of days.

This hotel doesn’t provide daily housekeeping, you have to request it and in my case there’s no service even after my request. It finally happened just the day before I checked out (4 nights stay).
