Pros:

Room and safe were lovely.

excellent
Pros:

The first impression of the interior foyer bar/restaurant/lounge area was exceptional. Room corridors were very spacious with excellent artworks leading to a very spacious room/suite separate lounge and bedroom equipped with luxurious king bed large bathroom including a bathtub. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice of hot and cold foods all very fresh and well presented. We will use this hotel next time in Canberra. Highly recommended.
