Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    Very spacious for the budget price. I like the retro decor that reminds me of good old motels from my childhood. Very satisfied.

    Second time staying at this hotel. The location and cost are great. The beds are super comfy, and I also like the feel of the hotel in general. The staff are lovely and the breakfast and coffee deal is amazing. Can't forget the free parking!

    Easy walk to Canberra Central shopping and ANU (I was visiting my daughter). Loved that there was ample free parking on site. Loved casual eats and cocktails at rooftop restaurant - Howling Moon.

    Convenient location to where we needed to be. They supplied civilised smoking areas, which is rare in motels nowadays. Ample and free parking was a bonus in Canberra.

    It was a clean and spacious room and great for a one night stay. It's very close proximity to eateries, good coffee, the reptile zoo, Dino museum, Cockington gardens and more. Location was great. It was as we expected from a motel style accomodation. The bathrooms were lovely and modern.
