Top hotels in Ascot
Ascot Budget Inn & Residences
The rooms were good. The balcony was a real winner. The room did not have a lounge area as such. Plus I was really after a two bathroom place. All my issues not the unit. I also needed a car space. Which ended up being on the road. I was lucky to find spaces when I needed.

Only spent 1 night but place seemed to be clean. Only issue was that our AC was not working to capacity therefore our room was warm!

InterContinental Brisbane by IHG
The Hotel is getting to look a bit tired and dated, and the executive lounge although the service was good it could do with a extra person serving drinks.
