The hotel offers super comfortable beds and a great view. However, the rooms are really inadequate, and the decor is dated but clean. The staff are lovely but made a mistake with child charges. The location is excellent for accessing cultural sites, shopping, and the convention center. The dining options, although with plenty of selection, were a bit disappointing with limited choices. The overall experience was positive but with room for improvement.

The hotel offers a cozy stay facing the park, ideal to start the day, but the rooms are a bit small for larger groups. The service encountered during our short stay was efficient, meeting basic requests, although a tad frustrating. The location is perfect for exploring Canberra Civic and all it offers but found some minor issues in the handbasin. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor room size concerns.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were very clean and spacious, they were too hot even after adjusting the air conditioner and offered no view of the fireworks. The service was fantastic, with staff always smiling and friendly, yet lacking detailed information on bus services. The location was convenient for walking to attractions but some parking confusion marred the experience. Dining options were plentiful but missed a few crucial elements. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

I was upgraded to a park view king room with awesome park scenery, and despite the motel's proximity to Civic Centre, no street noise disturbed my stay.

The hotel had marked furniture and carpet with exposed wires in the room, which was not ready till 8 am. On the bright side, the staff were very kind, especially the room service and restaurant team during breakfast for children. The location was a big plus, feeling safe and comfortable, perfect for enjoying the New Year's fireworks. However, the city's retail district was not up to par with the property.
