    The Park has a great family friendly feeling to the place. Plenty of space, accommodation and fun activities - bbq, pool and mini golf. The villa we used for 8 days was comfortable, with everything on hand as described. I recommend this place to stay and its a short drive to the airport and city.

    I liked how spacious the room was, when booking me and my friend thought we were getting a very small room with not much room to walk around due to booking very last minute and it was incredibly affordable for two adults. However we were pleasantly surprised when we walked into a room the size of a mini apartment. We absolutely loved it and will defiantly be recommending to friends and family. This room set us up for a weekend of fun and memory making.

    I had a wonderful stay at the City Motel with my family. Canberra Lyneham Motor Inn is located near the city center, which was very convenient for sightseeing and shopping. The room was cozy and clean, with an attached bathroom and extra kitchen stuffs that we needed. The staff were very kind and attentive, and they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The price was also very affordable for the value we got. I highly recommend this motel to anyone looking for a family-friendly place to stay in Canberra.

    The room was nice and spacious for the kids, the beds were comfortable, I could access tv streaming apps, the breakfast menu was kid friendly and really well priced. In the main bar area, there is a little lounge space my two boys played chess, there was some Lego available, children’s books, mind puzzles, and the wifi was strong so I was able to work from anywhere in the hotel. The desk in the room was perfect for that also.

    The property itself is great. The customer service and the poor lack of communication to inform us a family with kids that the pool is out of service is horrid. The last thing you want is a whole family with a baby and toddler to arrive at the property and checked in to find out on our own that there no pool. What do you expect us to do at 2-3pm in Canberra with little kids???? No remorse from front desk/reception and we had to leave after unpacking to a hotel with a pool.

    Clean, comfortable and affordable place to stay with modern kitchen and bathroom. The apartment had enough room for our family of five with small children. Some grass outside was good for stretching their legs.
