Brisbane Marriott, Brisbane, Australia

Great Check-In Experience


The first impression was amazing, the lady at the front desk (I wish I was better at obtaining and remembering names) calmed by frazzled  nerves because I couldn’t find the vehicular entrance and took my car keys and arranged to move the rental car from the street in front of the hotel to the parking garage.  She made me feel welcome in Brisbane and at the Marriott.  

The room on the 16th floor was large and comfortable and had a great view of the Brisbane river and one of the older bridges crossing the river, the executive lounge had an even better view of the river.  

The location of the hotel is superb, the concierge entrance is 50 feet from the river-walk where there is a plethora of restaurants and bars with food and drinks at all price ranges.  

The exercise room was excellent, with treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bicycles and a weight area.  It was great to exercise in the early morning with the eastward facing windows open and the sun streaming in and lighting up the whole gym and a pleasant breeze blowing off the river.
