Good enough for an overnight sleep. Our king room had no other character. Plenty of parking options around the hotel and good option if only looking for an overnight stay on budget.

This isnt even a hard one for me to review - 5 stars all the way. Great desk service, nice room, perfect bathroom, easy parking (access from two streets!)... the only thing I could fault is the toilet paper. This will be my regular Canberra accommodation going forward.

Property was clean and we had the king suite with extra bed so the room was not small but we went there for the heated pool and it was below our expectations let alone the fact that it was in a different building so the kids had to go through a small parking lot and out in the street with their swimming suits and towles to go back to the room so it was not very convenient. The breakfast was below average with very limited options

The customer interaction and service was really good. Our room only had one since in the bathroom meaning there was limited access to fresh drinking water and the tap position made it hard to fill up bottles of water. They had a sizable gym, but unfortunately, the gym also had a lot of equipment that was broken and unusable.
