Checkin was easy. Staff polite and helpful. Our room we were a bit surprised. The rooms look contemporary and smart in the photos but actually they’re not. The room was small ( cell/ dorm like) and neglected needs updating. The AC in our room didn’t work properly and it’s old. They were hazards too. Our window was broken and blind wouldn’t stay down. Noted: to fix problem sticky tape was applied to window frame and blind, not a good look and cheap. There was 2 old heaters placed under the window again hazards and not a good look. One basin to use for bathroom/ kitchen not hygienic. Get walk pass bed had to position yourself straight de would. The bathroom/ toilet module to get in and out slip/ trip hazard. Any steam from shower can set up off smoke alarm not good. Em Slaby

This place was never the Hilton, but it used to be clean and had a decent breakfast. Now, the bed in our room was dirty (stained doona) and there was a large chunk of hair in the bed. The front door was damaged. The breakfast was poor. Only one choice of cereal, they got rid of the cappuccino machine (replaced with the worst instant coffee and tepid water), got rid of the cold meats, only one jam (in a broken jar) etc. etc. Very bad. My family used to stay there regularly. No more, it's a dump now!

Adequate Hwy stop

The bed is comfortable enough and the property is located conveniently off the Federal Hwy on the way into Canberra traveling south from Sydney. A couple of things to be aware of though 1) The walls are not soundproof. Listening to someone drag the one plastic stool that the rooms provide around the floor after midnight is not fun. 2) I'm not even 163cm but even I found the shower rose to be very low. 3) If you are carrying an injury, or if you are elderly you might find the step up into the toilet/shower to be difficult.
