Hotel Meriton Suites Herschel Street, Brisbane (Brisbane, Australia)

Guests generally rave about the convenience of the hotel's location across the street from the train station, which makes getting to and from the airport easy. The pedestrian bridge to Southbank is just a few steps away, and it's also within a comfortable walking distance of the CBD, Queen Street Mall, Botanical Gardens, and the Eagle Street Pier, where guests can catch the ferry. There's a pub and convenience store nearby as well.

The rooms are widely described as very fresh and modern, with well equipped kitchens and laundry machines in good working order. Because the building is an incredible 74 stories high, most offer an incredible view of the city, and are also free from traffic noise.

The reception personnel consistently earn rave reviews for their friendly and helpful customer service, and guests also praise the housekeeping team for keeping the hotel "sparkling." Many guests also rate the hotel very highly in terms of value for money, for both the excellent in-room amenities as well the fitness facilities on site, which are of good quality.

Drivers are generally put out by the high fee for on site parking, noting the garage has some tight corners and passageways.

Guests have been unpleasantly surprised by water on the bathroom floor after a shower, while others have had a restless night due to loud or ineffective air conditioning.

Though the staff earn a very high overall rating, some disappointed travellers have reported an unaccommodating attitude at the front desk, while others have wished for a full room cleaning daily as opposed to "light" duties such as bed making and exchanging towels.
