Gday anyone know of a decent motel in Brisbane that wont bust the budget? Im travelling to Brisbane in May with the family (yes Mrs and kid) (not on my Busa!!) and need a motel that doesnt charge like a wounded bull.
Last trip it was hard to find a middle of the range place. It seemed to be cheap and not worth it or 5 star and out of reach!

Mate, get onto http://www.checkin.com.au/, select Brisbane Hotels and take a look. Everything from 5 star. to budget to serviced apartments. It's not always obvious, but Brisbane is a Capital City so you should expect prices to reflect that. If you are prepared to be out of the City centre, the prices drop significantly.

Hillcrest near the south bank is very local and handy, not sure of $$ as work pays, but hey ask away and see who they look after.

the willowbank caravan park is very cheap stayed a couple of times not sure how much now but if you can't find anywhere to stay its a good place.

Miao, perhaps try by first looking in the RAC accommodation guide...which is free for members. I have always found this motel/hotel bible to be very helpful indeed no matter where you might think of staying. Also, if you are flying in, there are often some deals going at Flight Centre which are very good value too...ie fare + 3 nights etc at a discounted rate. Generally, if you just roll up without a "discounted" or "Corporate" rate, you can expect to be charged by the wounded bull.
