Great location, fine for an overnight stay.
Pros:

Nice sized room, it was clean and warm. Had everything you needed.

Cons:

Shower a little small and difficult to use. They charged me for a slightly later check out which I’ve never been charged by a hotel before.

Good staff, unhygienic room
Pros:

The staff were nice

Cons:

Not properly clean pillows smelt mouldy and had spots on them, what seemed to be tobacco left all over the chair from previous guests

A nice weekend in Canberra
Pros:

Plenty of room for our group. Beds were comfy - even the fold out bed! The location was very convenient for us - it was close to all of the places we were visiting whilst in Canberra. Parking was close to apartments.

Cons:

The toilet is separate to the bathroom, which is handy. But, there is a part wall between the two, which made us feel a little self-conscious.

Pros:

I loved the location, staff were good.
We were comfortable - but felt it was quite basic. Nothing was bad

Cons:

Mixed rating on shower, I felt it was like a sheep dip! A bit more joinery in the bathroom would have made a difference. No where to really hang clothes
