Canberra trip

Beautiful room with great views of the lake. Access to the hotel was tricky due to construction. Reasonably located and close to Canberra attractions like the City Center, walking paths, and parliament building. After staying at a similar class hotel in Sydney we suddenly found our breakfast options to be severely limited. We realized that they do not make Omelettes!!!

Stayed for two nights. Thought it had a sauna and pool as I looked it up and nothing. Car park was full so had to park 3 min walk away for the price of the room should have been included. Room was near the lift so noisy could hear people coming and going. The bathroom had no fan so was steamy after every shower. Bed was made but did not receive fresh towels or body lotion. The wine glasses and coffee mugs were not cleaned and no coffee pod refill. For $700 for two nights I expected much more not worth the money!!! Room needs upgrading as it was out dated.

The Hotel was very nice, good location and the staff very friendly. Unfortunately we were put in a room next to the lifts which was quite noisy. Our TV also did not work. The food in the restaurant was quite bland and found the pillows quite uncomfortable.
