Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. On the positive side, the hotel offers an onsite bar, gym, and complimentary amenities like lollies, apples, and bike hire, which were nice perks. However, my room on the 3rd floor facing the main road was quite noisy due to traffic in the mornings. The room itself felt like a motel room with outdated TV, a dirty bathroom, and overall looked old. The kitchen facilities were a plus for longer stays, but the room needed some improvements.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean, fresh, and beautifully decorated in a modern style. The only downside was that it was a bit too warm for sleeping, especially with the doona provided. The kitchen facilities were fantastic, and the room was very quiet, making for a great stay in Canberra.
The hotel offers generously sized rooms with well-appointed kitchens, comfortable beds, and spacious bathrooms, ranging from studios to 1-bedroom apartments. The service is friendly and efficient throughout, from reception to all F&B outlets. The location provides a fantastic stay experience, close to the lake, shops, and various landmarks. Dining options are diverse, and the facilities are excellent.
