A quick trip to the capital to enjoy family time.
Pros:

Reception staff were absolutely lovely when we checked in. The room was a comfortable temperature (it was winter) on arrival.

Cons:

Room curtain set up could be a bit more flexible. Unfortunately at sunset curtain had to completely close because sun shone directly onto one small area of room. We couldn’t leave the rest of the curtain open to enjoy the sunset.
Otherwise a lovely room.

Another amazing stay
Pros:

We love everything from the location to the amazing staff and impressive rooms at a great price.
We travel frequently to Canberra to watch the football and will only ever book and stay at the rex.

Cons:

The only downfall would be the limited parking spaces available.

Pros:

Staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was tidy and quite inviting after long days.

Cons:

Both nights I was there there must have been events on as there was no parks available. One of the staff allowed me to use a reserved park the first night but the 2nd night I had to park a block away as there is no street parking either. If I wasn't driving I would 100% stay again though.
