Comfortable without being excessive. Room was comfortable, clean and tidy. Convenient location with good restaurants nearby. Limited interaction with staff; somewhat lacking in hotel amenities hence feels more like a serviced apartment for week-day business travellers or longer-term occupants. Parking was full so had to park on the street.

Good value for money, slept well. Checking in Canberra cold weather and waiting outside for 15 minutes to get sorted was not enjoyable. I arrived after hours and someone had inadvertently put an incorrect PIN code for the lockbox. Eventually got sorted by accesssing annother lockbox as they moved me to another room but was standing outside in freezing cold weather for almost 15 minutes while they sorted their error. Tried to add parking last minute and struggled to get someone to answer the after hours phone. Eventually, when I got someone I was clearing the too hard basket for them to make it happen.

Just an overnight but so many places to choose for breakfast and dinner, just a 5min walk away. Then a bit further all the restaurants on Kingston wharf. Very clean and a wonderful comfy bed.

Has the minimums you need for a quick hotel stay. Contains a stove, microwave, sink, fridge, dishwasher, and a Chromecast enabled TV.

Lovely big room. Only quibbles: can you put two bins in the room? One bin to cover bathroom and bedroom is a bit mean. Our bin was also full and would have had to get cleaner to do the room just for this reason if we'd been staying longer than 2 nights. Also, when you switch bathroom light on the air conditioning is very noisy.
