The staff were exceptionally helpful and firendly. I swam in the 'heated' indoor pool and it was quite cool but refreshing. Room comfortable, safe and quiet with everything I needed for weekend stopover. Many thanks!

The exterior of this property is terrible and I was embarrassed I’d booked this for our friends. the lobby area is also run down. The room was clean and functional but also run down. The checkin staff were lovely. A great location but this is a very old property that needs updating.

Very nice stay

Clean and tidy room, much bigger than expected and very well equipped. I was a very late check in and early check out. It would have been great if circumstances allowed me to stay and enjoy. Easy check in and approachable service staff.

Good hotel in a great location

A nice hotel, we booked a premier view room which was somewhat overpriced. Good size, had all the amenities needed but the room was very tired and although adequate not to the standard of a modern hotel. The best feature is it's location - close to shopping at Canberra City and a mass of cafes & restaurants within walking distance.

The breakfast was VERY disappointing and not worth the money that they charge. The restaurant had 1 person in attendance, running out of food at the buffet every time after 3 or more people entered. Everything was cold, the cups were dirty, etc, etc. Regret paying for breakfast to be included!

The trundle (extra spare bed) was very old and uncomfortable, with the springs easily felt through the mattress. I wouldn’t recommend the extra bed at all. It was awkward parking out the front off the main road - multiple cars couldn’t fit.

Loved the proximity to shops and dining, nice 10 minutes stroll. Didn’t like the Undercover parking was very squashed, costly and you had to be in early to guarantee a spot. Not all lifts went to parking level either and there wasn’t any notice anywhere to advise of this. Also they don’t accept Cash!!
