Great family hotel

Great family stay. Large rooms, large bathroom. Comfortable beds with range of pillow choices. Easy parking either underground or outdoors within the hotel complex for larger 4wd’s. Free use of washer/dryers (which is very handy). Breakfast was delicious. Bar/Lounge area was great to relax and play games during happy hour. Quiet within the hotel, but slight road noise from our room, not enough to wake/bother us. Overall, would stay here again when we visit Canberra.

Location was great, however the infrastructure maybe 30-50 yrs old. It thus requires regular maintenance and upgrades. The water cistern broke one night, and we were given option either to wait until morning to fix it or change room middle of night, eventually it was fixed while we waited outside the bedroom intil 12am. Shower pipe bust on another day and repair done after waiting for 2 hours. Pools are closed for 2 months and should be advertised clearly online.
