I think the "Pending" deposit should be cancelled as soon as possible following checkout. Some other places, it's returned within an hour of leaving. 4 hours after checkout and it's still listed as "Pending" in my account. If it's taken immediately on checkin, it can't be that difficult to cancel once the room is checked.

I can honestly say ive not stayed at a hotel where i would come back purely for the hotel experience here in Canberra, until now! I will come back for sure! It was so easy to get to places and navigate the hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was so clean and neat and had all the amenities needed. Thanks for a great weekend!

We were welcomed with not the friendliest reception. When we went to the room. The fridge was empty. We were advised that to get anything we needed to go downstairs and get from a kiosk. When hoping to order food, we were told there was a $5 service fee for the food delivered to the room. This was not mentioned anywhere apart from the menu flyer. We wanted water, one of the hotel staff instead of being courteous to us and giving water, as we had a child with us. He came up all the way just to show where the $5 fee was mentioned in the food menu. Our expectations were not high. A s a family we just wanted to rest and get food. we were pleased with the pool facilities. Along with the level 6 restaurant people, who accommodated us without a booking. Unfortunately our stay wasn't as pleasant and would not look for Rex again next time visiting Canberra.
