Avenue Hotel Canberra
I’m a big fan of nice fresh Asian/American breakfast. So options can be better. I always stay at Avenue hotel. I love how clean, my balcony with mountain view . Very accessible. Met lots of Filipino staff that very friendly, sweet and they work very quick when making up our rooms

Pavilion on Northbourne
Room was clean. Staff were very helpful and all were pleasant. Bathroom is dated and taps hard to turn all the way off in shower. Dripped all night long. Carpet has lumps under it. Some of the pillows had an old musty latex odour.

Location is ok. In between two dining areas. Facilities are new. Parking spot is a bit narrow. Reception wasn’t super efficient, but was ok. Overall ok.
