There is a washer and dryer in the room but the dryer didn’t work i had my clothes running in washing cycle even though i had the receptionist come and look at it. There is no instructions on how to operate the dryer. Useless piece of equipment in the room when it does not dry your clothes.

Placed in a disabled room. Room stunk of cigarette smoke and stains everywhere on carpet. There was rubbish on the sink from previous guests. Maccas outside our room so heaps of vehicle noise and maccas speaker noise. Staff were friendly and really helpful.

Generally a good hotel with proximity to mall and food which is helpful. Being positioned in a room next to the McDonald's drive through when booked as "pet friendly" wasn't ideal, as our protective dog lost his mind with every noisy vehicle and person yelling into the order speaker... other side of hotel would be better.

Needs some TLC

Room smelt of cooking oil upon entry. Stains on the duvet, could have been blood discovered at the end of our stay. However the location was great; close to shops and eateries. And there was a washing machine combined with a dryer. Abode is a chain of hotels and I would hesitate to stay at others.

Stayed in the family room. Nicely decorated. Great small kitchen. Decent sized small fridge. Excellent heater. Great location, close to shops and restaurants. Helpful staff - very generous with towels, milk, tea and hit choc sachets, tissues etc. Washer and fast dryer in bathroom was so good!! Only negatives: not a smart tv and only a rain shower - no hand held.

Started off great with a free room upgrade. However the pillows were uncomfortable and the hot water in the shower lasted about 90 seconds. Which is a problem when it’s -1°C when you wake up in Canberra.
