The location is great,
It's right in the midst of Canberra City Centre.
The hotel and its rooms are quite dated.
I appreciate the heated indoor pool,
Jacuzzi, sauna and the lounge area at 1st floor.

Hotel was relly very good. Very comfortable room. Breakfast was also very good.
Parking was a pain. There was not enough parking and too expensive.

Good location - restaurants near by but mostly closed (possibly due to the time of year we stayed, checked in 29th December for 3nights). Ezy mart 2 doors away. Parking a bit tricky but can manage free street parking on the weekend. Hired a king executive room - had king bed with a sofa bed (double), had plenty of room to move (we had 2adults and 3kids - 12, 11 & 3yo). Stayed on the second floor which was the same floor as the pool/sauna/gym, pretty convenient. Pool was large, cold but loved that it was indoors. Breakfast was good too, sufficient to start the day. Staff lovely and helpful

Little issue with room to start but sorted after some discussions. Difficult for parking (though nearby free parking outside overnight). Facilities, swimming pool was good. City centre a block or so away, though Canberra is quiet after 5 pm. Lots to go see and now the new light rail outside the hotel. Generally good.
