Great hotel, breakfast options were good - however the parking options are an absolute nightmare!!! If you’re not a confident person with parking - do not use their car park directly below the hotel - opt for the off site public car park. Parking is extra - they could prob do something about that though. When you consider their offered room ratesz Definitely would return but only on a good room rate !

This hotel has been our go to in Canberra for years because they have an indoor pool that the kids love. However recently they seem to be neglecting their facilities. They have closed the sauna for "safety" reasons. Which is highly disappointing given that a sauna is big draw car for a Canberra hotel, especially in the winter months as a stopover on the way to the snow. The pool was not well heated. The hot tub was not hot enough and was not even full - it was about half full. The kitchen staff are surprisingly unknowledgeable about their own products. A family member has a peanut allergy and one of the kitchen staff claimed that they did in fact use peanuts, including to sprinkle them over the pasties of a morning. Upon further interrogation at breakfast the next morning, we discovered this was actually not accurate and the kitchen did not use peanuts. The food is very good. The rooms are clean and comfortable. However the rest of experience is currently on the decline. They could use some additional investment in their facilities.

Location was great. Buffet breakfast was good. Frustrating check-in. The self service machine didn't work although we were encouraged to use them. The worst things was, we were waken up at 5:55 am by the room phone. The staff member asked if we've requested linen, which we did not. Everyone was waken up. Otherwise we would have had a good sleep. When told we did not request the linen, the staff member simply hang up and did not even apologise. It is unbelievable that this place has staff who did not even think carefully before waking people up at 5:55am.

Handy location but everything else was a bit lacking. Looks rundown in the pool area, bathrooms not well looked after, sink half blocked and patches in the halway ceiling onky half finished. Staff were hit and miss with customer service - seemed like the hitel was being run down before the next renovation. Carparks ridiculously tight. Strange room layout for the 'executive' room - bathroom sink is inside the main room where you think the kitchenette should be. Overpriced for what they offer and would stay elsewhere next time.
