In 5 days the bed was never made , they just pulled the bedcover , so it looked right , no windows to the outside view, cups, sauces , cutlery for 2 , if you used them , there was no replacement , a very small sink , no sponges or wash detergents , available to clean them , .. it was between walking distance from Manuka and all government buildings, all and all a very unhappy experience,

Very quiet area, easy check in process, plenty of parking, good water pressure and decent bathroom. The mini fridge in our particular room did make some noise throughout the night and there was water at the bottom of it when we arrived. Other then that a nice place to stay.

Location is good, within easy walking distance of Manuka restaurants and shops. The hotel is run by out of date management. Upon check in the staff scanned my ID and credit card without asking. Have they not heard about Optus or Medibank? I won't be back.
