Metropolitan Motor Inn

Brisbane


This revamped ’70s number presides over a busy intersection and attracts business bods who just want somewhere central to lie down that won't break the bank. No frills, but trim, tidy, recently renovated rooms. Free wi-fi and (limited) undercover parking, plus 24-hour reception.
