Property: Manta on Queen Brisbane
Status: All+ Explorer Gold
Room booked: 1 bdr apartment
Rate: $271
Room upgraded/type: Yes, 2bdr apartment
Free internet: Yes
Free breakfast: No
Early check in/late out: didn’t ask, wasn’t offered
Welcome drink: yes but didn’t use
Welcome gift: box of vegan chocolate bars and DB plonk
Recommend: probably not for solo trips

Thought it was a good idea to get an apartment instead of a standard hotel room, and this was the closest Accor property to HSW (corporate event). Got upgraded to a 2bdr apartment, but per recent AFF article it is kind of pointless for a solo trip as I didn't even set foot in the 2nd bdr. May consider for family trips, but not at the headline price for a 2bdr! Honestly felt like just a pretty generic inner city apartment from the 00s (which it probably is) and nothing to write home about. In-room laundry and cooking facilities is a plus though if staying for longer term.
