Stayed in a 3-bedroom unit at this budget-friendly motel and overall, it was a great value for the price. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and the location is super convenient—Woolworths is just a 10 to 15-minute walk away. Mobile reception was strong throughout our stay, which is always a plus. While we didn’t test the TV, Wi-Fi was mostly reliable, though some websites didn’t load properly, requiring a VPN to access them. One minor inconvenience: the bedside power outlet isn’t accessible due to the furniture placement, so the nightstand is pushed right against the wall—had to use an extension cord to charge my phone. Also, no bowls were provided, so we ended up eating out of cups and picked up disposable ones at Woolworths later. The shower floor has a slight slope, causing water to pool in one corner—but easily managed by nudging it down with your foot. No shampoo or toiletries included, which is expected at this price point. Despite these small quirks, nothing was deal-breaking. We’d definitely recommend this place for travelers looking for a no-frills, practical stay near the airport. Just bring your own extension cord, shower essentials, and a few bowls if you’re not planning to buy them on-site.
The service here was absolutely outstanding—warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly from the moment we arrived. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The hotel itself has a modern, stylish vibe with thoughtful touches throughout the lobby and rooms—clean, well-designed, and full of character. One thing that stood out was the impressive number of beautiful and professional women working here; their presence added a polished, elegant energy to the entire experience. Location is excellent—just a short walk to the train station, making it super easy to explore Brisbane downtown. This place truly delivers on comfort, charm, and hospitality. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing yet sophisticated stay.
Staying at Raceways Motel was a no-frills experience—exactly what you’d expect from an older property in a practical, functional sense. We used it as a quick crash pad after a long flight, and honestly, it did the job. The room had a decent bed, a working toilet, a shower, and air conditioning, which was a big plus during Brisbane’s humid weather. It wasn’t fancy or modern, but everything worked as it should. The place is quiet and safe, perfect for a short layover or overnight stop when you’re just looking to rest and recharge. Not ideal if you're seeking comfort or luxury, but for a last-minute, budget-friendly option, it delivers the basics without any surprises. If you need a simple, no-nonsense place to sleep after travel fatigue, this motel gets the job done.
