The Star Grand Brisbane
Excellent, my favourite place to stay in Brisbane. It’s over looking the river, tons of restaurants, casino, multiple pools. Staff are friendly and good value. It’s on the expensive side, but worth it even if it’s for a couple of days, especially after long international travel.

ibis Brisbane Airport Hotel
Room was clean. Staff courteous. Booked for one night for long connection flight. Did the job. Shuttle from international terminal to domestic terminal. Then a 5min walk to hotel. Paid for breakfast which was ok but not very hot.
