Dovessi tornare a Canberra...sarebbe ancora la mia scelta !!
Pros:

Sia in arrivo sia in partenza hanno custodito le nostre valige per diverse ore nel loro deposito senza farci pagare niente !!
Camera grande, bagno con doccia ok. Pulizia ottima.
In pieno centro città, in pochi minuti si arriva in tutti i principali luoghi di interesse e, per varie altre necessità, il gigantesco centro commerciale è a 2 minuti.

Accessible, clean and safe

The pillows were not comfortable, too soft and no option to provide firmer pillows.
