Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers super comfortable beds and a great view. However, the rooms are really inadequate, and the decor is dated but clean. The staff are lovely but made a mistake with child charges. The location is excellent for accessing cultural sites, shopping, and the convention center. The dining options, although with plenty of selection, were a bit disappointing with limited choices. The overall experience was positive but with room for improvement.
I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, especially due to its convenient location near the shopping center. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making my experience more comfortable. However, the dining options became repetitive after a few days, and some were a bit too expensive.
The hotel offers a lovely park view from the rooms, which are clean and comfortable, though they could use some renovation. The service is attentive, cheerful, and goes beyond expectations.
The hotel offers a cozy stay facing the park, ideal to start the day, but the rooms are a bit small for larger groups. The service encountered during our short stay was efficient, meeting basic requests, although a tad frustrating. The location is perfect for exploring Canberra Civic and all it offers but found some minor issues in the handbasin. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor room size concerns.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were very clean and spacious, they were too hot even after adjusting the air conditioner and offered no view of the fireworks. The service was fantastic, with staff always smiling and friendly, yet lacking detailed information on bus services. The location was convenient for walking to attractions but some parking confusion marred the experience. Dining options were plentiful but missed a few crucial elements. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is cozy with clean and comfortable rooms. The staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly, making the stay pleasant. The location is excellent, close to key attractions and dining options. However, the rooms are a bit small. The dining experience is top-notch with great staff. Overall, a convenient and welcoming place to stay.
I was upgraded to a park view king room with awesome park scenery, and despite the motel's proximity to Civic Centre, no street noise disturbed my stay. The beds were comfy, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. However, the room showed signs of wear with mold in the bathroom and dust accumulation around the bed.
The hotel has a great central location close to Canberra mall and main streets, making it convenient to travel to various attractions. The rooms were clean, but our check-in was delayed until 5 pm, causing some inconvenience during our stay. The dining experience had excellent gluten-free options but was noisy early in the morning, affecting sleep quality.
The hotel provided a comforting stay with very clean rooms and great facilities. However, the air conditioning was ineffective, making it too warm. The service was friendly and accommodating, but there were some issues with late arrivals. The location was perfect for city exploration, but the rooms were described as stifling hot.
The hotel had marked furniture and carpet with exposed wires in the room, which was not ready till 8 am. On the bright side, the staff were very kind, especially the room service and restaurant team during breakfast for children. The location was a big plus, feeling safe and comfortable, perfect for enjoying the New Year's fireworks. However, the city's retail district was not up to par with the property.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although spacious and comfortable, were in desperate need of a remodel. The service was friendly but lacked some training in managing charges correctly. The location was superb, close to the city center but with uncomfortable beds. The dining was a bit overpriced but offered a great selection. The facilities were adequate but nothing exceptional.
