Great stay
Pros:

The staff were all delightful and very welcoming. The room was spacious and beds very comfortable . The overall cleanliness was good . There was a well stocked mini bar.
The included buffet breakfast was excellent. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was also excellent well above expectations.
The location was spot on allowing easy access to the city sites and the hotel easy to find and get into with good secure covered parking. Will definitely stay here if visiting Canberra again

Cons:

The only small fault i could pick was the room was a little noisy with noise from the hallway and surrounding room noticeable but not overly intrusive. Also had to be careful not to turn shower on to hard otherwise the water sprayed out of the shower reccess wetting the rest of the bathroom due to the small shower screen but this is only a minor issue
