    Our stay was amazing, the hotel is beautiful and modern. Despite being a hotel room, there was a small lounge in front of the tv so you didn't feel the need to only watch from bed. Also loved the bonus of a small balcony and coffee pod machine and not just instant coffee. Parking was cheaper for canberra city at only $10 per night. All in all, I highly recommend!!!
