"It was okay. There's not much to do in the area, but it's very peaceful. Back in November I booked a 1bdrm place for a few days leading up to NYE. Got downgraded to a studio on arrival, because other guests wanted to stay longer. They refunded some of the cost. The venue was nice."

"We booked last minute ie when we arrived in Canberra, and had to wait nearly 2 hours to receive both the online instructions and get keys to access the place - all the while waiting in our car. There is NO reception desk so gained assistance from other residents on how to use elevator as swipe box was hidden behind padded lift liner, plus parking not numbered in any particular order - need a map. Once we were in we were comfortable and happy with the facilities and location. Lovely pub...

"Just want to give a big shout out to the lady on the front desk. Jodie, I believe. Super friendly and great at her job. She allowed us to book out slightly later than usual which really helped our itinerary. Would recommend if you aren't planning to spend a lot of time in a room and exploring Canberra and need a clean and conveniently located motel. Also parking wasn't an issue at all which can be a problem around Civic and suburbs around Civic."
