Great place to stay. Would definitely stay there again. Stayed in a room near the main street but couldn't hear the traffic at all. Wish the shower wash was filled up though. It only had enough in it for one shower, stayed for 3 nights. Also had only one roll of toilet paper, had to ask for another. Other than that. Very clean, comfortable bed. Location is perfect

I required a handicap room which was large ,spacious and clean. Easy for me to move around and really appreciated the shower chair in the bathroom which great. Room was tidied every day plus bed remade. Would love to stay again, oh and the food was very yummo. Thank you for making my stay so comfortable

Stayed here on a quick overnight stay while in area for work. The staff are more than pleasant, the rooms are a nice size and are clean and comfortable. The restaurant has a great variety of food available, and as the weather was nice, it was great to sit outside and smell the aromas coming from the wood fired smoker. I have stayed here in the past, and I will do so again.

This is a very old hotel. The wallls are paper thin. It is lovely and comfortable in that old style but you can hear all the sounds from adjacent rooms, upstairs and downstairs. If you’re using this hotel just to snooze and go venture Canberra during daylight, then it is the perfect choice and value. My room (105) was above the gym: every morning, an avid runner starts thumping the treadmill at 7am. I am an early riser so it doesn’t bother me. When I checked in, the guests upstairs were having loud sex or something. I don’t begrudge someone having a good time, but I can hear every single bump on the bed. I called reception and they did pipe down. The staff are amazing. There is ample parking out front. Would I come back? Yes but definitely would have extra ear plugs.
