Hotel is love, clean ,however, location isn't practical for families unless driving. Food was poor in the bar gor example pizzas had no toppings especially margarita and was so heavy with sauce was inedible. The buffet breakfast was over priced poor selection( no white bread, for example when asked for some. ). Food was barely warm including hot water.reception staff were great

One of the best hotels I have stayed at. The room was so nice and very clean. I really enjoyed my time staying here. The bed was incredibly comfortable and well appointed rooms. The restaurant downstairs had the best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had and it is within walking distance to all the great things to go see within the National Triangle. This will become my new home base for when I travel to Canberra again in the future.
