Home away from home!

We always stay at the Pavilion on trips to Canberra. Comfortable and friendly. The big draw card is the bar area surrounded by a forest of plants. This trip we noticed that the plants were in need of some attention……

The room overall was great. Only problems being the fridge was loud and you could hear the road and traffic. Besides those two problems my room was great. Staff were great. Place is clean and the greenery in the middle is beautiful.

Here for the Folk Festival

We were in Canberra for the National Folk Festival, and we attend this festival every year at Easter. The location is convenient to the Exhibition Park (EPIC) - where the festival is held. The kitchen is small, but sufficient for our needs. The rooms are big, and let us relax after each of 5 full days at the EPIC. (The check-in was not handled well - we were asked to wait until 2pm (from 12:15), but when that time arrived were told that the room wasn't ready yet. When we complained we were put into an alternate room that had been available all along - so our time had been wasted unnecessarily).

1. Scored an early check in, even though I didn’t ask for one. Always glad when that happens. 2. For a loud atrium, I was a shocked at how quiet my room was. 3. I wouldn’t mind if you asked your laundry contractors to add a couple Downy beads along with the pillow cases as they get washed.

There is a lot to like about this motel, especially its location, the excellent breakfasts in the atrium dining area and the safe parking it provides. On the down side, the rooms are small and the wardrobe cluttered with extra plillows and blankets. It's a good motel for a one-night stay. But as there are no draws to pack away a few items or a clear shelf that is not already cluttered, staying longer will mean living out of your suitcase.
