The Watermark is a smart three-and-a-half-pearl hotel located in a residential area just north of Brisbane's busy city center. Even so, it's still within easy reach of the city's best shopping and dining. Its 94 rooms are contemporary and feature sleek bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi -- many have private balconies overlooking the pretty Roma Street Parklands. Suites feature cozy living rooms with desks. The hotel has a restaurant and bar, as well as some outdoor seating beside the pool. Unfortunately, it lacks other features such as a business center and gym, making it best for travelers who won't spend much time hanging out on-site. Travelers looking for those features might consider Hotel Urban next door, though it has a far artsier style.

The Airway Motel Brisbane is a small budget property that's best suited for travelers who need to be close to the airport, located a 10-minute drive away. Brisbane is 15 minutes away via a bus that stops at the property, and a racecourse and restaurants are within walking distance. The 20 rooms are clean and fairly modern. They offer microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers, but noise can be an issue and bathrooms are dated. There aren't many features here, but the small outdoor pool is nice for a quick swim, and there's a brick courtyard where continental breakfast is served for a fee. The motel also offers free Wi-Fi and a laundry room. Ibis Budget Brisbane Airport is similarly priced and five minutes from the airport, but cleanliness can be an issue.
