i was passed on a link that offers a family and friends rate at
http://www.nexthotels.com/brisbane/

checked for my upcoming brisbane stay where it returned 135 AUD per night which seems to save about 30 AUD over the best rate plus does come with a free breakfast item (the rate description seems not to be too clear about this...). hotel has good reviews on TA and reading on their just opened.
