Location is pretty good. Everything is close in Canberra so can’t really go wrong. Room was tidy but coffee table could’ve done with a proper clean. Overall not bad but probably stay somewhere else next time. On site parking is good.

No sleep

Staff were friendly and very welcoming. The room was disappointing , the lounge is miss shaped. Walls are thin could hear the neighbours tv ALL night including conversations. The room needed a good paint there were scuffs everywhere. Even what looked to be food ( I hope) on the wall. I can’t speak for the other rooms but mine was overall horrible to stay in. Location is great tho.

I was upgraded I think which was lovely, sadly the family staying next door had no idea how to use inside voices. They had small children that were acting up and very loud, but they eventually settled

The house keeping was a little lax. Just minor things needed a bit more care. But over all we had a nice two day stay. The receptionist was very lovely and couldn’t do enough for us.

We stayed in 2BR apartment. Hotel definitely needs upgrading. Shower in main room either freezing or boiling. Much better in other room but still temperamental. Found pubic hair in the bath. Beds need replacing as sagged off to one side. No blankest/doonas on beds, the “spare” blanket was disgusting (1 doona with no cover and covered in yellow stains). Also, one blanket for a room that holds 4 ppl is a bit ridiculous! Washing machine was super convenient, spacious lounge area. Kitchen good but a few dirty dishes in the cupboards and could do with an update. Lights flickered on and off randomly in the room Pool was nice. Didn’t see any staff except at check in which was super easy. Staff member was friendly. Overall, ok but probably wouldn’t stay here again

Room was cold but comfy with air conditioning on. Nice king bed but sure could use warmer bedding. Bathroom clean and tidy but the shower very small. Should an upgrade be considered in the future increase the shower space and loose the triangular bathtub.
