The Star Grand Brisbane

8/10 Good
"Definitely didn't feel like I was staying in a 5 star property. The cleanliness factor really bothered me. We stayed in the sky suite, when we got there the big table in the room had not been cleaned for who knows how long. There were drink rings all over the table that could be seen in different lighting. It was disgusting to be honest. The bathroom had splashes all over the tile. The property is nice, but at this price, the rooms should be spotless and cleaned with care. Super loud music well into the night, if you're experiencing any kind of jet lag and want to get to sleep, it may prove difficult. I wouldn't stay here again."
