We enjoy staying here, very affordable. However, having to now pay for parking is a bad decision (reverse this decision NOW!), and there were clumps of hair in our bed. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Hotel is conveniently located just off Northbourne Avenue, as you arrive in ACT. Ideal base for us to visit family & friends during our stay. The room was very compact, however neat & tidy. The bathroom is very small & didn't have a sink. My suggestion to improve the room would be to renovate the bathroom, to include a sink. Otherwise all good.

Everything was amazing, the only thing that we didn't like was the fact that the room was quite small and the shower was small. The water kept going inside the bathroom floor. No lock on the bathroom door. The staff was super kind and amazing and it was very quiet. Overall we enjoyed it

Apart from being a budget room from bed to the wall very narrow, the bed was soft but too much soft and sloppy on the bottom part, Hips and back was so soar after a night sleep, need a new bed I guess. Tea and coffee re filled after two days thank you. Easy access from coming and leaving Canberra.

Staff left the room key in the letterbox and went home which is fine however they neglected to let me know which room I was allocated. So after a four hour drive I had to use my room key on each door. Very unimpressed!
