We loved the location - so close to so much that mattered, and of interest to us (mainly eating places). The staff were excellent and very attentive. Our room was quite large, but the bathroom was a bit small; in the remodeling of the bathroom too much attention was given to the large shower at the expense of the other facilities.

We loved the view from the 11th floor where we stayed. It looked over at Southbank and Brisbane city. The numerous taverns and cafes were below and across the road at Southbank. The markets, also at Southbank, were crowded and entertaining. Plenty of coloured lights and entertainment in entire area. Within short walking distance to Brisbane city if you wanted to go there or Casino. Will of course be back to Ridges. A suggestion - a little kitchenette would enhance the room.
