Never having been to Queensland before other than a stop off at the airport my Christmas present to my wife was a four night stay along the Brisbane River at The View. Let's get things straight up front, when hotels advertise they are in Brisbane check exactly where. Not even several taxi drivers navigation could find The View in Brisbane, instead it is in Hamilton. I think this is a valuable lesson anytime when booking anywhere as I suspect The View would not be alone in doing this. The View is around ten minutes, maybe a little more outside of Brisbane depending on traffic. The hotel is relatively modern though showing some style age with decor. The reception by the concierge and staff throughout our stay was very welcoming and helpful. The welcome drink voucher, a pizza voucher and coffee vouchers for our time there was a very nice feature though we forgot to use some. The a-la-carte breakfast was second to none along with the dinner quality of the restaurant. The dinner menu could do with a few simple items. There is a very quaint lounge area between the dining room and concierge that is relaxing to chill thinking about nothing, checking phone messages, reading a magazine and so on. The only change I would make is to replace some of the almost ground level chairs to a few a little higher. Unfortunately we did not have the opportunity to try the bar area because we were exhausted from travelling each day. The room was cleaned every day along with a change of sheets, the bed was very comfortable and the sheets crisp. There was a large screen television in our room however the channel selection was a little confusing and sometimes we could find Netfilx on the program menu and other times not. The pool area looks very inviting on line and whilst the physical attributes are correct it is not as inviting as the displayed images. It just requires some decor and the lighting effects shown in the promotional material. Car parking had ample space. Would I stay there again? I may try elsewhere next time for two reasons: Firstly to stay on the river in Brisbane itself within walking distance of either the CBD or Southpoint. Secondly the piped music throughout The View must be free to air, it is very annoying music, and often a tehno kind of beat that is played over and over again that made us eat out more often than not. If on business however The View is situated half way between Brisbane CBD and the airport though not within walking distance of anywhere significant. The first day there we spent close to $100 on three or four taxi's travelling within fifteen minutes of Brisbane CBD which prompted us for the next four days to hire a car. This gave us the independence that allowed us to see the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast at a far cheaper rate than taxi's. I would definitely recommend The View because of the staff, a-la-carte breakfast, meal quality, cleanliness and vouchers upon arrival. It has a nice ambience and our fifth floor room with a one hund
