“Friend's 2nd choice of places to stay in Brisbane”

This was the 2nd choice made by my girlfriend who wanted to be in a certain locality for business. The 1st choice had "plenty of rooms" that booked out in 3 days so move on to 2nd choice. My friend is a bargainer and she stated that it was only worth what she paid, not what appeared on the website.... More
