Brisbane Marriott Hotel

The hotel staff (from the front desk, to the restaurant, to the valet) is very friendly and helpful. I loved the décor of my room and it was very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was presented nicely and the food was pretty good as well. It more than served my purpose for a business trip

This is my favorite Marriott. And it’s way better than the Stamford Plaza just down the road. The staff is unfailingly gracious and knowledgeable and the service impeccable. The spa is better than anything I’ve experienced in Manhattan. Marie, my therapist, was amazing.

The Hotel is great and the staff are warm and friendly. Big thanks to Carlos in the Motion restaurant for making every meal enjoyable. The rooms are well appointed, very clean and of course Marriot beds are known for comfort.
The only thing that I thought was completely unreasonable was being a regular guest with a vehicle and being stung $ 55 per night for parking. The hotel itself is on the border of the CBD and Valley precinct so $ 55 to park in the Marriot’s own park was outrageous. If you have a car look nearby there are ALOT of cheap overnight parks within walking distance.

It’s always nice to be greeted by some familiarity when on the road 7000 miles away from home. Layout of the room is good. Ask for a river view room if possible. It’s just better than facing another building or street.
The person at the check-​in counter was from Pennsylvania when I walked in. Very friendly staff at this hotel overall.
Concierge Lounge has pretty decent food. I just wish that there was bottled water for me to grab on my way out as well.
The drop-​off/​pickup situation at this hotel isn’t great, unfortunately, so make sure you plan accordingly if you’re arranging stuff for yourself.

We had the honor of staying in the beautiful Presidential Suite in this incredible hotel and it was an experience we will never forget. Thank you for the five-​star memories!!! Amazing

FABULOUS EXPERIENCE! Our first time in Aussie land; this hotel made the experience even better! The staff was the BEST! Hotel is very clean. The upper floor heated pool was awesome and came with a gorgeous view. Definitely, stay there again. Worth every dime!

Having spent two nights here on my most recent stay I thought I should review it now I have enjoyed more of the facilities.
The staff are great, friendly and approachable, they also do the little things; at least 1 bottle of complementary water per guest, another in the car after collecting it from concierge, little thank you notes for staying left in the room, etc.
I was lucky enough to be with their «company of the month» where they thank a specific Business for their patronage with a room discount which was an added bonus.
The lounge while small never got crowded and the offering is substantial enough to skip a meal if you desire; the bar & restaurant were also well stocked and even when busy allowed you to find a quite corner if you hunted for one.
The only downside is that while all the rooms are nice, they are starting to look a little dated; far from worn out just looking due for a makeover in the next 5 years perhaps?

I stayed in Room 804 on 4^th to 5^th April (Easter Weekend). We used a Scoopon deal that entitled us to some dining perks (a «free» lunch for 2 adults and 2 kids), discounted breakfast, and a great rate on the room. Overall, our stay was fine. I think some feedback about the Motion Bar and Grill is required so this part of the hotel can improve their service standards.
==Saturday==
We arrived at lunch on the 4^th and after getting settled in the room, we went straight down to Motion to redeem the lunch offer. This was a pre-​paid meal essentially, but we were never offered the choice of purchasing a drink with our meal, or for the kids (which was a lost opportunity because we probably would have).
On the way down in the elevators, we saw a $ 49 meal deal for 2 adults and kids, and asked the restaurant duty manager about the deal. He didn’t even know about the deal and used the excuse that he had been off for a few days as the reason. He even had to look in the elevator to read the deal :|. He promised he would call our room back with the details and he never did.
==Sunday Brekky==
We arrived for brekky at 7am, and service was underway. We were shown to our table, and then kind of abandoned. No one explained that you could actually order freshly cooked omelettes, waffles and pancakes if you wanted to. So we just thought the offerings in the Bain Marie were what was available. We also had to wait for a starter coffee until one of the lovely table clearers came around and interacted with us. It was not a great impression, particularly considering that the breakfasts were $ 35 each.
==Monday Brekky==
Monday’s service was much better, however there was only apples to juice on the juicing station. We still weren’t told about the freshly-​prepared options on the buffet, but I pre-​empted this and placed an immediate order for pancakes for the kids and an omelette for me. All hot dishes were really well prepared. It’s worth noting that the chefs also prepare Bain Marie Eggs Benedict, which actually rivaled some Eggs Benedict I’ve had in proper breakfast cafes. So great work on getting this right!

I really enjoy the Marriott chain. It’s generally my #1 selection when I travel. This Marriott is okay, not great. It’s a little older, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but the rooms are pretty basic. I’ve stayed on 11, 25 and 28 (top floor and the ‘executive’ level). My only comparison in Brisbane is the Rydges. The Marriott is good, but the Rydges has balconies and way better food. I’m surprised at how bad the food is considering the chef seems great. He makes little appetisers/​entrees in the exec lounge and they are great. But overall the menu is very weak.
The exec lounge is a great option or free snacks and drinks, the location is convenient to the eagle street pier and they do offer 5x points for Marriott credit card users. The queen street mall is about 6 blocks away. Very convenient for tourists

With its mixed-​stone marble bathroom with its faux gold fittings and fake wood wardrobes, sleeping at the Brisbane Marriott is to hotel rooms what I imagine sleeping with Kylie Minogue would be like — it’s perfectly doable, but I imagine it would have been a lot more impressive during the 90s.

This is my second time staying at the Marriott for work, an I have to say that this hotel is nice and I really think the check in, valet, and staff in general work hard to make your stay as nice as they can. The location is good because you can walk to the eagle street pier and to the queen street mall. The rooms are pretty good and the bed is par, although the comforter was quite nice. Being from the states, all hotels in Brisbane are freaking expensive. This one is no different, but I do think that if you are able to get a package that includes the breakfast and parking it’s a good value compared to the other hotels that I have stayed at in this area.
The main issue with this place is the service at the bar and restaurant is hit or miss. This afternoon the service was so slow and the girls were so cold that I was stunned. It’s a rather difficult thing to swallow when you are paying $ 330 a night to basically have the wait staff tell you they will bring you a beverage and then just disappear for 15 minutes. As I write this, I’m the only person at the bar… The only one, and it took 15 minutes to get a beer AFTER I ordered it. How long does it actually take to fill a glass of draft beer and hand it to you? Everyone has an off day but come on, that’s not proper by any stretch. I was too tired from walking all day to go back out to eagle street, so reluctantly I decided to just do the restaurant again. This time the mate that took care of me was great.
I originally was very disappointed in the bar, and no matter what, it is expensive. Sometimes it’s worth it, but for sure you are paying a high premium for the location.

In my top 5 for greatest hotels I’ve stayed in. Staff remembers you and you get free Internet for being a rewards member. Bar downstairs has a good selection of beer!

Great location next to the river. If you’re looking for walking distance nightlife, head to the riverfront and walk to the right (away from the bridge). The staff was friendly and very helpful with setting up a rewards card (free and also gets you free WiFi) which I was more than happy to do.

Great hotel and location! We only stayed here for one night but still it was good. Nice workout area and pool and the lobby is nice too. The hotel is clean and the location of it is really awesome! It’s not too long of a walk to the queen street mall.

Fantastic hotel! Great location on the quiet side of Brisbane CBD, walking distance to Chinatown and City Centre.
Breakfast was amazing! A chef to cook whatever you’d like, pancakes, eggs… + continental buffet and the coffee was excellent!
Swimming pool had perfect temperature (we visited during winter) and also a spa beside it.
The room was spacious and quiet, the customer service was very nice and friendly.
When back to Brisbane would stay at the Marriot again.

Very nice place all around with an okay gym and on site spa

This was my first stay at a Marriott property after hitting Gold status with Marriott Rewards. I was upgraded to an Executive Level King room with an incredible view. Staff & Service was incredible.
Food was great, too!

This is a fantastic hotel with great service and a pretty good breakfast buffet. I’ve been here twice now for work and I have not been disappointed. The concierge treats you very courteously when you arrive and the front desk is always making sure that you have what you need.
I’ve stayed a room on the executive level (because they ran out of normal rooms) with a double bed as well as one with a king-​sized single. Both were very comfortable and kept very clean. The one perk of being on the executive level though is that it has its own area for breakfast which has more fruit and cold choices than the main buffet in the lobby.
Overall, very impressed by the environment and ambiance of the hotel and would come again!

Motion Bar & Grill. The revamped bar at the Marriott is dissapointing and overpriced.
$ 10 Coronas !!!
Go up the road 400m to Sparrow and Finch, and they are $ 5, and come off the ice.
Food is just as good and half the price

This review is for the spa at the Brisbane Marriott called the Dome Retreat.
I treated my friend to a massage for her birthday, which she was very pleased with. She said the massage was very relaxing, and the therapist was willing to adjust the treatment to accommodate my friend’s sunburn.
I joined my friend at the spa and for a fee was allowed to use the other facilities. This included the shower, pool, sauna and jacuzzi. The sauna temperature was so hot I could only stay in for 3 minutes and the jacuzzi timer for the whirlpool was set for only 5 minutes in length (so I then had to get out of the jacuzzi every 5 minutes to hit the button on the wall again).
Although my friend had a lovely massage, which I am very happy about, I’m giving this only two-​stars because for the price I have come to expect more from my day spa experiences.
