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.
