Hotel Meriton Suites Adelaide Street (Brisbane, Australia)

The rooms are widely described as stylish, spacious, and sparkling clean, with well equipped kitchens and comfortable beds. For many, however, the highlight of the stay is what's out the window; guests who stay on higher floors are amazed by the views of the city, river, and Story Bridge.

Many guests rate the hotel very highly in terms of value for money, citing the overall size and quality of the rooms, friendly and professional customer service, and excellent on site amenities such as the indoor pool, sauna, and gym, all of which are described as very well maintained and inviting.

The hotel's location also adds to the overall sense of good value, with guests often commenting that everything (restaurants along the riverfront, the Queen Street Mall, the Botanic Gardens, the CityCat Ferry, Southbank) is within easy reach without a car.

Drivers appreciate the secure on site parking, but are generally less enthusiastic about the pricey nightly fee, and some have arrived to find the lot full, much to their inconvenience. The nearby public lot is, however, significantly cheaper.

While many visitors are impressed by the high-tech elevators, others are simply befuddled by them, and delays have been reported at high-demand times.

Though reviews of the staff are generally very positive, guests have had disappointing experiences at the front desk (often related to room assignment) and housekeeping glitches to report.
