Good hotel for Canberra

This is a good hotel for Canberra. It is walking distance to landmarks like Parliament House and a short walk to shopping and restaurants. This property is a motel style accomodation and is not luxurious. However, it is clean and comfortable. It is reasonably priced. There is an onsite self-serve laundry, which is convenient.

Very surprised as it was a very nice place to stay. Would go back.
Tony, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff were very helpful, allowing a slightly early check in to enable an appointment, heating good,bed comfortable On the downside, shortage of soap in the shower, many drawers have broken handles ad we only found out about the lack of Restaurant facilities on arrival. Food (take away to eat in the room) was reasonable.

Better than expected. Decent value for money. Good (walkable) location.
Jonathan, 1-night trip
