Old rooms and everything is old and worn. Still comfortable, just not modern. Noisy doors, have to nearly slam them them to close. Coffee & fridge area is tiny, shower in the bath with a shower curtain that doesn’t keep the water in. Very restricting for tallish people.

This is.a good hotel for a few day stay in Canberra. We had two nights there. They have a convenient restaurant and bar under the atrium. Parking is easy access in and out (not always the case in Canberra). The rooms are a bit dated and need more light—a stand up lamp would do wonders. Also, the bathroom needs a light above the sink. These are important respectively for reading and also for shaving, make-up, etc. But other than those two items, it’s an excellent hotel.

Room was spacious and clean. Large car park that was gated. Ideal spot to get anywhere you needed to be. We needed to get to a shopping centre in a hurry when we arrived, and found that an easy (and short) drive. Had our evening meal in the dining room and a drink at the bar - all 10/10. We have stayed here before, but this time had to be at North Canberra Hospital early the next morning and found it to be another short and easy drive. Cannot comment on breakfast as my husband had to fast - but I’ll review that next time!!! We will be back again very soon - the price was outstanding and staff were pleasant.

Staff was very helpful. Room was clean. Disappointed that kitchen corner did not have a tap and small sink which made the use of a kettle difficult and the use of plates not possible as we had nowhere to wash them. The bathroom had only one face towel. Should have been two off.
