What people say

Loved the location. Across the road was a supermarket, atm, bottle shop, bakery and numerous restaurants. A short drive to all attractions and could walk to Lake Burley Griffin and go for a jog. Had a one bedroom apartment very spacious. Free underground parking, free wi fi. The woman who did our check in was excellent!!! She made a big effort to get us into the room early as we were going to a cricket match and would not be back to the room until late at night. This staff member was very impressive and we were going to send our compliments.

The location and proximity to the city and local eating establishments. location separate living space. Location. Location. location. Location. Was very happy with it. My room looked on the road & it was a bit noisy. Nothing. 3rd Level , No Lift, not really an issue for us but would be if you were fitness deficient. Gym was not advertised. Toilet paper too soft :(. There was nothing we didn't like. Nothing. had trouble with free wifi. Rather dark room and inadequate lighting. unable to connect my iPad to the wireless internet (tho my partner with same model iPad managed to). zero. Reception not open until 9:00 am on weekends. The internet did not work all the time. Nothing. Lighting is poor at night Microwave not working. Lack of lighting...too dark to see in the kitchen. Not enough comfortable seating for two. would like more light in the bathroom, especially over the sink. WiFi didn't work. Booked one bedroom suite and was provided a room only. Didn't receive the warmest welcome on arrival and was told that I couldn't check out an hour later (to enable me to have a shower after the Marathon). Although I noticed the room wasn't actually cleaned until midday after I left. Over charged on checkout and had to phone to get this fixed (although they responded well). Sofa was a little uncomfortable and tv was tiny for the room. The TV reception was poor as the aerial connection was broken. Also we couldn't get Wi-Fi connection and no staff member was on duty to assist us. Underground parking is difficult for a large vehicle. Check-out is too early. Complimentaries were very limited. The most uncomfortable beds I have experienced in a long time, stifling rooms. The noise from the hot water systems especially when hotel guests were having showers at 5.30am. No elevator. uncomfortable lumpy bed stained blanket on the bed. Unreliable internet, room very dark. Exiting car park was tricky, had to get out of the car to push a button then rush back into the car before the gate closed. does not look like advert/needs renovating/bit tired, old fashioned for price. Fans had no nob to turn fan on/off, making the rooms stuffy Security poor. TV in bedroom poor, only stations available was sport Staff/visitors smoking in courtyard, unable to open windows due to smoke wafting in.
