Very quiet in the rooms considering it is on Northbourne Avenue. Easy access to the driveway for entry to the motel plenty of onsite parking. Very helpful and friendly staff and the meals in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner were very nice and reasonably priced.

Reception friendly & welcoming. Dinner

Reception friendly & welcoming. Dinner service a bit slow but we had an excellent "special" dinner with plenty of choice. Hope prices dont go up after refurbishing By the way,why are tomato & BBQ sauce with the fruit & muesli at breakfast ?

The room was good and spacious. The housekeeping was excellent could not be faulted. We spent 2 nights there and found it a great central location. The only down side was the restaurant not open on the weekends. The buffet breakfast was heavenly. We would certainly stay there again

I found the room clean with a pleasant outlook. At the Service Desk I was not given any information at all, just given a bill to sign. I don't think it would have taken more then 30 seconds to explain where the dining rooms were, what floor I was on, or if I needed a hand with my luggage. None of these questions were asked. I went to Canberra to work on Foreshore Festival, so when I booked in at 3.00pm I may not have looked the freshest, but I have walked into Sheraton On The Park in the same state and I was still treated like royalty, which made my experience there memorable for the right reasons. At no time did i wish to approach the Service Desk again at the Rex
