I had a very nice stay at Tall Trees Ainslie. I felt welcome and my personal request was happily accommodated. My room was very clean and quiet. I was travelling and needed a good nights rest. I had a very comfortable stay in every way. I left early so didn’t test breakfast.

Parked directly in front of the unit. Loved the unit - clean, tidy and everything you need. Little out of the way in terms of its location but found a little shopping centre that had an IGA so dinner was served from there. Overall - a really great experience.

No problem with parking, there was lots of it unlike other hotels/motels in Canberra. We hadn't stayed at this motel before but found it to be very quiet and convenient for the city center if you have a car and we would stay there again. It was about a 6-7 minute walk from the Anslie shops along beautiful tree lined streets. The reason why I didn't give it full marks was because the hair dryer didn't work and the shower gel was empty which of course was a bit annoying to find out after you had stepped into the shower. This is a very basic motel but it was clean and quiet and my room was large with a microwave and plates plus cutlery I didn't have breakfast at the motel. The best feature is for those who like to take an afternoon walk as it is in a beautiful area of Canberra.
