This place was never the Hilton, but it used to be clean and had a decent breakfast. Now, the bed in our room was dirty (stained doona) and there was a large chunk of hair in the bed. The front door was damaged. The breakfast was poor. Only one choice of cereal, they got rid of the cappuccino machine (replaced with the worst instant coffee and tepid water), got rid of the cold meats, only one jam (in a broken jar) etc. etc. Very bad. My family used to stay there regularly. No more, it's a dump now!

Adequate Hwy stop

The bed is comfortable enough and the property is located conveniently off the Federal Hwy on the way into Canberra traveling south from Sydney. A couple of things to be aware of though 1) The walls are not soundproof. Listening to someone drag the one plastic stool that the rooms provide around the floor after midnight is not fun. 2) I'm not even 163cm but even I found the shower rose to be very low. 3) If you are carrying an injury, or if you are elderly you might find the step up into the toilet/shower to be difficult.

For the price, it was a good overnight stay. Just unfortunate that there was a black out (no fault of the hotel) so was hard to get bags inside when it was pitch black. The beds were clean but facilities are dated. Toilet and shower were clean but there was a slight 'drain' smell. I only needed it to sleep in so wasn't a massive issue. Maybe if it was for a longer stay, then it may have been. The lady on reception was fantastic and gave us extra blankets due to the power cut but thankfully it was back on within an hour of us checking in Overall, you get what you pay for and even though it was cheap, it was clean and quiet
