“Hotel Kingsley's proximity to Brisbane Airport and local racetracks makes it a practical choice, especially with the added convenience of a free airport drop-off service. While some past guests have commented on the varying room conditions, I note the recent addition of modern suites, potentially signaling an upgrade in the overall experience. Its location near dining options like Eat Street Markets further enhances its appeal for short stays.”
