Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very close to art gallery and other sights to see by car. It’s a motel style place where you park the car and the room door is in front of you. Mattress topper was lumpy night 1 but night 2 it settled to be more comfy. Pillows were high. Bathroom has all you need including tissues, hairdryer and great water pressure. There’s a microwave in the reception office for guests use until 9pm. Room had bowls and cutlery too. Room was spacious. Overall good value. Clean.

I read a few negative reviews (along with many positive ones). I found the two Bedroom apartment option to be super clean and well maintained. This is great value for the amount charged in Canberra. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Enjoyed a great stay in a 1br serviced apartment. Staff very friendly and helped guide me to where my apartment was located. Apartment contained a massive recent model flat screen TV and I was able to connect my laptop to stream content as well as all the local free to air TV as needed. Kitchen well equipped and couch very comfortable. Apartment lovely and clean and in a very quiet neighbourhood. Top marks all around.
