    It needed a 2nd toilet in the 3 bedroom apartment.

    Close to shops, car park was spacious. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of room

    We could have been asked is there anything you need in the unit. Missed having a local community brochure ie recommended eating place. No electric blanket. Canberra can get very cold at night.

    Great location for what we wanted to do. Very easy to be self catering. Facilities adequate - some kitchen crockery could checked and updated. Kitchen bowls to use in the microwave would have been helpful

    • One-Bedroom Apartment

    While everything was fine for this level of accommodation, the floor tiles in the unit were cold, icy on the feet. Pool floor tiles heated!

    This is a budget apartment hotel so facilities and standard of furnishings and decor is in line with the low cost. The indoor pool was the deciding factor for my booking. The water was cool - apparently 25C - but not cold. There were plenty of towels. The gym had enough equipment for a maintenance work out. Towels were changed and garbage bag sorted every day except for the Public Holiday and Sunday. There was plenty of hot water. Nice outdoor area with bbqs for warmer weather. appreciate the free parking.

    The room was not very clean. Fridge had lots of crumbs and stains. The hairdryer had foundation fingermarks all over it. There were dusts in corners. Bed was made up with 2 single beds joined, so it’s uncomfortable with the gap in the middle. All 4 pillows were very thin.

    Great location near the shops in Dickson. The one-bedroom apartment is spacious and quiet. Kitchenette facility with full size fridge and dishwasher are handy. Underground parking with lots of parking spaces. Pretty garden.

    The outside facilities looked very 'tired' and dated and rather dusty

    Plenty of room to eat and sleep although Kitchen was a bit short on cutlery and accessories which wasn't a great problem for us but a simple thing like a can opener/wine bottle opener would have been helpful

    The indoor pool was rather cold. Not sure if they were heating it at all.

    Good communication to get key, given our arrival was out of reception hours. The gentleman on reception the next day seemed puzzled that no milk had been in our room for tea/coffee, but happily supplied some. The room was comfortably set out, but bed a bit too firm for our liking. Easy walk to local shops.

    I felt like it should have had a kitchen sink or some sort of drinking tap/fountain. It is not ideal to get water from the bathroom tap. As well as not having a full toilet paper roll to begin the stay, we ran out but didn’t need to ask for more.

    Had what we needed, a bed, toilet and shower. Relaxing lounge and big tv, it was a nice stay and an affordable price.

    It is tired, the carpets are stained, and the fact that the rooms are not cleaned on weekends is disappointing and not acceptable. They will provide clean towels but you must ask for it the breakfast options are not acceptable

    Another comfortable stay slightly spoiled by the very loud exhaust fan in the bathroom.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Triple Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Two rather minor things. One bedside lamp didn't have a light bulb in at all. Not a big deal in this case. The second one is the exhaust fan that all ACT hotel bathrooms must have in the ceiling if there is no external window. It was comparable to the noise of a Cessna aircraft. While you have a shower it's not an issue. But while sitting on the toilet or using the sink it is that bad that I'd rather turn the damn light off. Not practical on the toilet while sharing the room but gee I wanted to.

    Beds were comfortable, a small table to eat at, a comfy lounge, smallish bathroom was fine for our purposes too. Rooms were clean, of a sufficient size and the reception staff were their usual happy and helpful selves.
