Liked: Cleanliness
Location to central businesses was good. Plenty of eating options. Rooms were clean. Car park was full so had to park in nearby public parking. Price for parking was descent, $10 overnight but the inconvenience of walking extra couple of blocks to collect car made it annoying for bag drop off and pick up.

A 'decent' hotel in a great area. For the reasonably low price, I wasn't expecting much, and that's exactly what we got. The room was clean and quiet. The breakfast was quite good too. A number of very small disappointments: No bottle opener in room; accidentally charged too much; wasn't given All points because didn't book with the app; Accor's famous honeycomb was covered in a way that made it difficult to access; coffee machine not functioning. Not bad at all, but not great. Worth the price!

We have stayed at Novotel many times over the years however the state of the hotel for this stay was horrible. Dirty socks from previous guest left in our room, beds were so uncomfortable where the four of us had no sleep for two nights, the pillows were flat and old, the carpets were worn out and dirty. Cleaner came on second day and only fixed beds. Did not clean the room. The bathroom had no soap or body wash and only shampoo and conditioner. There was no parking available for guests so we had to park a few blocks away and lug our luggage through Canberra streets. The pool was not clean nor heated. Very bad experience this time around z we won’t be staying there again.
