The hotel was very clean. Bed was comfortable. Food was great but definitely on the more expensive side. The only thing I will say is as we were staying 2 nights we did ask the housekeeping person outside our room when we were leaving for the day to make up our room. She replaced towels, however our sheets had coffee on them. The bed didn't get fresh sheets. She also never replaced tissues or a toilet roll. Should we travel to Canberra again I would still stay here.

If this hotel was marketed as a 4 star, I would have been a bit more legient but as a 5 star property, I felt it lacked in a few areas. The bathroom in particular felt grimy and there was visible dust in this space. We had requested twin beds but received a king. The food at the restaurant was basic pub fare at higher prices. Bed was incredibly comfortable though!
