Our room was newly renovated and well laid out. Having the toilet seperate to the main bathroom is particular handy when staying with kids. The kitchen was very well stocked with pans, pots and utensils. The night manager was so lovely when we booked in, and genuinely made us feel so welcome. Some other areas did look quite tired, and I don't know if all rooms were as updated as ours. It was very close to most of the tourist attractions, we had a great stay.

Very close to art gallery and other sights to see by car. It’s a motel style place where you park the car and the room door is in front of you. Mattress topper was lumpy night 1 but night 2 it settled to be more comfy. Pillows were high. Bathroom has all you need including tissues, hairdryer and great water pressure. There’s a microwave in the reception office for guests use until 9pm. Room had bowls and cutlery too. Room was spacious. Overall good value. Clean.

I read a few negative reviews (along with many positive ones). I found the two Bedroom apartment option to be super clean and well maintained. This is great value for the amount charged in Canberra. I definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel room was clean and the staff were very nice. The free Wifi is pretty quick as qell. However, there is a door that connects to the next room that can not be locked. I've never felt so unsafe. The hotel also has a restaurant that you can not eat at you can only get eoom service or T/A. There is also a fee if you want to eat.
