Pros:

As a frequent visitor, Angelica in particular and the front desk staff are well worthy of compliment. As a well travelled person, their assistance with check in and the little things makes it a return location.

Cons:

Limited parking is problematic. However, that is not a function of the service level

Perfect night away from home
Pros:

The room was so private and cosy it was perfect for me. The kitchenette was beyond expectations, I loved the fact I could do my washing if I had wanted to.

Cons:

It would have been nice to have had a skin cream on offer and sanitary bags for rubbish. But nothing I didn’t like.

Cons:

We booked for 3 people. Room was set up for two people. When approached about this the staff member blamed us for book in a room too small when in the booking we clearly booked for three. The room had a third bed, it was not made. We had to find sheets and towels for the third person.

Too expensive to have a per and car parking ($75) added on top of room tariff. a stressful stay
Pros:

Clean, modern apartment; friendly reception staff member

Cons:

A rip off cost wise. The most expensive accomm. in our road trip. Geared to consultants to the government staying a night or two at taxpayers expense to work across the road in a government building.
Advised AFTER paying a non-refundable fee that the pet fee would be $50 AND a parking fee of $25 also to be applied.
Poor advice on how to find the parking spot...also hard to check in with a gate across the parking area and no sign to say how to gain access. Key cards did not work the next morning, and I had to make my own at the unattended front desk by taking a spare card and follow phone instructions from a remote staff member to place the card on a reader to activate an new code. In all the stay created unnecessary stress. I'll look elsewhere next Canberra visit.

Not great
Pros:

The room size and the building location were good.

Cons:

Extremely disrespectful behaviour by the receptionist at time of our arrival who was not helpful with our carpark as he liked our second carpark prior booking. He sent us to another local carpark which had a closed gate and when we called and explained the issue he simply hanged up the phone on us. We supposed to have breakfast in and carpark when we booked and we ended up having none.

Great value for money. Pleasantly surprised. Cheaper than Abode Woden.
Pros:

Easy check in. Quiet room. AC very quiet. Bathroom excellent. Clean, and great shower. So many additional features, (like kitchenette, dish washer, real milk, coffee satchels, smart TV)! Security access great. Initially made a mistake with my booking date, but appreciated no charge to change.

Cons:

Parking on the street was free on the weekend, (but had to walk 5-10 mins).
