For basic, great value accommodation, the Chermside Apartments fits the bill if it is literally a place to put your head down and sleep for the night.
For me, it was turn up in the evening, go to sleep, shower and leave the next day to explore Brisbane over a long weekend.
On the downside, there were a few stains on the carpets. The aircon remote control did not work, so could not turn it on. The TV remote control stopped working on day 2.
Noting, these did not worry me as i would have otherwise brought them to the attention of the staff at that time.
When I did upon checkout they were apologetic, and it was likely something as simple as flat batteries. But they really should be checked before renting the room out.
There were black fabric cushions on the bed, which were the type of material that attracts dust and hair and carpet particles when dropped on the floor, which happens. They did not look clean at all so I avoided using them.
Putting that aside, the location is very convenient. Quite a few car parks to use undercover that are free. For those with 4wds with roofracks etc, you are in luck, the clearance is quite high.
A nice quiet location as well. No traffic noise at all at night, I had an uninterrupted sleep both nights. The bed was soft as were the pillows.
Checking in was a breeze, as was checking out.
Free breakfast!
I do recommend Chermside Apartments and I will happily stay again. Good value, budget accommodation.
