Meriton Suites Canberra
A great hotel - right opposite to the casino and only a few minutes walk to Canberra CBD shops. Room was clean and big and balcony was overlooking the lake. Loved it and will come back to stay

Novotel Canberra
Everything was great! Guys on front desk were amazing - nothing was a hassle and very glad to help where they could. The only thing is parking with a tall 4WD can be tricky as high ceiling spots are quite limited.
