Two Day Business Trip to Canberra
There were elements that were great. The location is excellent. The reception staff were also great. The condition of the room and the facilities were not at a level that I would be able to recommend the hotel. Indeed, it is not likely I will return to this hotel. The Wi-Fi just was unusable.

Not the cleanest place I stayed in, hair in the bed, stain on the pillow case and spots on the walls and dresser. Air conditioning barely working. Overall pretty cheap place to stay overnight and closed to a small busy area.
