To be honest the property and the room look very different in real life. Pictures on the website are so much nice than what it actually is. This hotel is basically an old motel. Good thing is the staff here is nice and helpful. You basically have everything you need in the room and the room is spacious. They let me store my luggage in the back of their reception for a few hours the day I checked out which is nice. Be prepared for the differences but the overall experience is fine. The area was quiet. There were barely no people walking on the street later at night but I felt safe overall.

Good hotel for Canberra

This is a good hotel for Canberra. It is walking distance to landmarks like Parliament House and a short walk to shopping and restaurants. This property is a motel style accomodation and is not luxurious. However, it is clean and comfortable. It is reasonably priced. There is an onsite self-serve laundry, which is convenient.
