Had to cut my stay here short and go somewhere else. There are bed bugs, and the overall room was not clean at all. Did not feel safe at this hotel. Nobody at reception and when i called to complain they never picked up the phone. Will not be staying here again

Probably one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed. Room was dirty. Bathroom still had a dirty washcloth in the shower. Door lock didn’t look very secure. Great location but that’s about it. I had stayed here several years back but it has really gone down hill. No reception. Don’t answer the phone. Double charged me for my booking which I have had to dispute with my bank.

This is a tired 2 star motel in need of a major renovation.. The small loud air conditioner took hours to lower the temperature of the room to a liveable state on a hot Brisbane night. At $120 a night you might embrace the shortcomings but at $240 all I could do is laugh at my poor choice. Too many issues to name but at least the sheets were clean and there was hot water in the shower. Ear plugs reduced the noise of the labouring air-con to sleep inducing black noise. The online check in with the need to provide much too much personal information was unusual but the key code on the door worked first time. The photo attached says it all. On reflection I give it one and a half stars.

Has no office attendee, even at 8-9am.
Stayed one night only because it was late. First impression very dated. Used air con for half an hour or so, thought it was giving a musty smell off so switched off. Awoke on a very uncomfortable bed to a smell of something rotting or sewerage, further detection it was from the bathroom. Some mould on ceiling and some tile grouting. The smell made us nauseated and headachey
Went to discuss with Manager who conveniently had left after i informed the cleaning lady (who was no help & couldn't be bothered) We checked out and I am still waiting for a response after 2 days.

This place is so bad that we left after the first night; we were planning to be there for two weeks. Prefered to pay again than staying there. I'm working with my credit card to get my money back. Horrible place and dishonest management advertising something that is not true.

Based on many recent 5-star Google reviews, I decided to give Paramount a go. Very impersonal. Door keycodes intermittently work. Curtain doesn’t even cover the window width. Crudely installed in-wall air conditioner blanketed in thick dust and missing filter and cover - which were both left (uncleaned) in kitchen. Plumbing leakage in shower. Internet router with bright lights on bedside table.
If this wasn’t bad enough, I revisited the Google reviews, not understanding the 5 star descriptions. I cross matched the 10 most recent reviewer names with names of “virtual assistants” (call centre support workers) - based in the Philippines - who are contracted by the motel owner. Their LinkedIn profiles proved that employees of the company that managed the motel actually generated fake reviews to artificially boost the accommodation rating.
The Brisbane motel number and the “hello” email address simply diverts to Cebu in the Philippines.
So much for being “consistent, quality and local” [byline of management company Facebook page]!
Upon raising all of these issues to the owner of the management company, I was told that my emails would no longer be read and that I had “an axe to grind”. I simply asked for a full refund, nothing more.
The matter has been formally lodged with Queensland Dept of Fair Trading.

No milk supplied for coffee and motel staff unresponsive when I raised this. No shampoo only two conditioners. Such a late check in with no flexibility on check in or check out without huge fees. Bed really uncomfortable as well as pillows

I found our stay to be satisfactory to our needs. It was central to parts of the city we wished to explore.

I didn't like the multitude of emails sent post booking. Surely a lot the information provided can be reduce to one email.
I also did not like the door lock system. Very difficult to see numbers in low light times of day. Lock also located at my waist level. Had to kneel down low to see relevant numbers to push.
Had difficulty providing ID and personal details online. Could not access system as the phone number registered in the system was not current. Had to call up to get assistance. A very stressful and time-wasting process.
No formal receipt provided online. The so called receipt provided had minimal information.

Location good, and, if in a rear room, quiet. We were told "Block P, Apartment 19". There was no marking of any block, and another resident simply said "try room 19". The secure access a good idea, but the height of the lock combined with the small numbers (there were 7 of them) made access fiddly. No marking for a car park for our room number. Only one mug, one glass and one teaspoon in room.
