Not the cleanest place I stayed in, hair in the bed, stain on the pillow case and spots on the walls and dresser. Air conditioning barely working. Overall pretty cheap place to stay overnight and closed to a small busy area.

Bit disappointed by the size of the room - there was barely enough room to put my suitcase anywhere. Also struggled to get any internet access at times (not wifi, just normal phone access) - it's like the hotel, or at least my room, was in a dead zone. But I did appreciate the staff helping me out with some Panadol when I was dealing with food poisoning.

It was okay. Air con was somewhat problematic as it was only in the living room and had difficulty permeating the bedroom. Any conveniences in the area require a drive or an Uber. My review is probably jaded by the roach that jumped on my arm while I was drinking coffee in the morning.

The rooms were on the smaller side but we're comfortable. Beds were very comfortable. Bathroom was very small, with toilet in the corner between the shower and basin.

It's aa Motel, not a hotel. So rooms are open to balcony or parking area so you occasionally hear other residents. That said it is clean and comfortable and the staff are friendly.

Pretty shabby you get what you way for, if they changed the threadbare stained carpet it would improve things.

Good family option
Great option for a short stay in Canberra - central location but very quiet at night. Stayed in a 2 bed apartment - room for family of 4 and well equipped kitchen for self-catering.

Considering it's location it is pretty average, In the wind at night stuff bangs around on the outside walls, if you are in the shower and someone uses the water you'll get burnt. apart from that it's also not that good.

The dirtiest room I’ve ever seen. Cupboards are falling off hinges, dead flies/bugs (including in the bed), dirty utensils, grotty oven trays, broken shower floor/tiles (I wore thongs)… The list goes on. Seriously outdated and needs an upgrade. The only good thing was the microwave and couch. I intended to cook which is why I booked our room type. But we ended up going out to avoid the room. We’ve actually booked last minute to go elsewhere for our second night.

Two issues concerned us, as we stayed in the hotel for one night. The first is lack of parking space for the guest, specially if one returns to the hotel late at night. The other has to do with the rooms. Ours (number 43) was so small even for two people to properly move around. Considering the room is designated for three people, it is hardly possible to fit in this small space.
