Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness
Check in was easy, even though we were likely given some erroneous information on timings of complimentary cocktail and canapés. We were, however, accommodated with a drink and nibbles at the bar. The hotel restaurant did not have any available reservations for this hotel guest. The blanket on the bed had excrement stains (picture available) and smelled like someone had slept in the bed previously, but the sheets werent changed. The mattress was lumpy, and in our opinion, should be changed. We were ignored by two reception staff upon checkout and had to go back a second time. Complimentary coffee and croissant were good, would have been even better if the latter had been provided on an actual plate. The parking was free on the weekend, which is of course a bonus.

One of the best hotels I have stayed at. The room was so nice and very clean. I really enjoyed my time staying here. The bed was incredibly comfortable and well appointed rooms. The restaurant downstairs had the best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had and it is within walking distance to all the great things to go see within the National Triangle. This will become my new home base for when I travel to Canberra again in the future.
