The Star Grand Brisbane
We loved the pool area. Would be great if the pool bar didn't open so late though (1pm midweek and 12pm weekends I think). The staff when we checked in didn't really know when it opened or the other restaurants so that was a bit of a let down. The keys on NYE also stopped working so it took two trips ...

The room was clean and well prepared The biggest problem was the air conditioner struggling with the position of the air conditioner Had to keep blinds closed at all times to keep room cool Also the little plastic side table weren’t too practical with the curved edges
