The standard queen room is a basic motel room. Mine was on the first floor. There is no lift. Parking can be tight. The main advantage of this place is the location. It’s close to Manuka shops and a short drive to the NGA, Old Parliament House etc.

Completely disappointing stay. Arrived at the property after a 7 and half hour drive to find the one bedroomed executive apartment we had booked weeks ago had been "upgraded" to a 2 bedroomed apartment. Sounded great until we discovered the apartment - wallpaper peeling off the walls, no air-conditioning in the bedrooms, paint peeling off the ceiling, huge bugs flying around the room, terrible cooking smell from whoever had been in their last. No way on earth was this an executive level room - it was a downgrade to a basic room with a second bedroom that was disgraceful - we shut the door and never opened it - it was awful. To be fair appliances were OK, the bedlinen was clean and it was quiet - but we had specifically booked the one bedroomed exec room as it looked so good - we had a lot of choice in Canberra - as a couple we had no need of a two bedroomed room - we just wanted what we had booked. After complaining immediately on arrival at the room we were simply told - your room is having maintenance this is all that is available. You can have a refund and go to another hotel if you don't like it (it 7pm at this point). Staff had no interest in helping. We felt we had been conned - no way on earth was this an upgrade - it was a cheap and nasty room in need of an urgent upgrade and paint job. Throughly disappointing experience. Not at all what we had booked and no one cared at all what we had been forced to take. Will never be back.

We had bugs and insects come out from nowhere late at night and all the reception said was sorry and suggested we should have looked for a team member at midnight even though the reception was closed to advise of bugs and insects infested in the room. Don't book! Staff really don't care

Our room was newly renovated and well laid out. Having the toilet seperate to the main bathroom is particular handy when staying with kids. The kitchen was very well stocked with pans, pots and utensils. The night manager was so lovely when we booked in, and genuinely made us feel so welcome. Some other areas did look quite tired, and I don't know if all rooms were as updated as ours. It was very close to most of the tourist attractions, we had a great stay.
