Great place to stay as my daughter had to be at Prince Charles Hospital at 6.30am for day surgery. It was a short walk up the hill. I was allowed to leave my car at the hotel after check out until my daughter comes out of hospital. Very nice staff.

The only reason I dropped a star was because this was my second stay in the last month and on both occasions, the emergency alarm went off in the early hours of the morning and lasted for ages waiting for the fire brigade to arrive. The first time it happened another guest said it had happened the night before. You seriously need to get this alarm fixed because on neither of the 3 occasions was there an actual emergency. Otherwise great place to stay.

We were only here for one night as we arrived late into Brisbane. Handy to airport. Breakfast was included but one of our group forgot to put their watch back so we were up at 6.00am and left early before we go to see what the breakfast was like . Apartment was comfortable.

It was so nice to be able to walk across the road to my accommodation each day after a long day visiting my partner at the hospital. No driving, no traffic. Shopping centre only 5 minutes away, so I was able to buy everything I needed for the week. The vending machines in the complex even had meals. Would recommend for anyone wanting good accommodation near Prince Charles or St Vincents Chermside.

Very good location, especially for anyone who has family at St Vincent or Prince Charles hospital. Essence is right next door. Spacious apartment, included kitchenette with oven, cooktop and dishwasher. Short walk to nearby Aldi and just a few minutes drive to Westfield Chermside. Secure parking. There is also a vending machine on level 1 with decent Brubecks meals you can easily heat in the microwave. A very convenient property.
