The Sebel Canberra Civic
One challenge was the property was lacking onsite parking. Lucky we were we had to park at the Wilson's parking during the weekend which was only $3 per day per entry.

Novotel Canberra
Everything was great! Guys on front desk were amazing - nothing was a hassle and very glad to help where they could. The only thing is parking with a tall 4WD can be tricky as high ceiling spots are quite limited.
