The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a good array of amenities like a king bed, a nice television, and a clean bathroom. The lack of biscuits for the tea and coffee supply is a minor downside for those looking for a snack in the room. The service provided by the staff, especially during check-in, was friendly and attentive. The location is convenient for exploring the city with easy access to the light rail system, but noise levels from nearby roadworks can be a temporary issue. The dining experience was excellent with reasonably priced meals, such as the popular made-to-order waffles. The hotel's facilities are well-maintained and offer a tropical paradise vibe in the outdoor dining area.

The hotel has nicely furnished rooms, albeit a little dated, which were uncomfortable for an overnight stay. The king size bed was great, but the sofa bed made up and rollaway were a plus. However, there were no cutlery or plates, only coffee mugs and wine glasses.

The location was great for those with a car or happy to use public transportation, although it might be a bit of a walk to get to the center of Canberra. The car parking was outside but free, and the hotel provided great access at all times with lovely atrium and hidden seating areas.
