The carpark is shared with the RSL but Motel visitors park along the Motel side of the carpark. You could probally request that you get rooms where you can keep a look out on your bikes. As with any pub or club there are sometimes unsavoury people around but I think they would leave bikes alone for fear of getting their butts kicked. I havn't driven to Brisbane for awhile but used to do it in one full day in the car. Depends how long you want to spend in the saddle.
