Great place to stay in Canberra
Pros:

Everything you need is at the Pavilion. The rooms are quite spacious, clean and very comfortable for a good nights sleep. The atrium area downstairs is very relaxing and the well priced and excellent menu for meals means not having to worry about meals away from the hotel. The light rail is just outside for easy access to the short trip to the city centre. Plenty of free parking within the grounds is also an added bonus.

Cons:

all very good!
