I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were reasonably large and well-appointed with a very nice outlook over the lake as I stayed in a premier corner room. However, some rooms are a bit small and old. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially with travel tips. The location was excellent, right in the center of Canberra with beautiful autumn views. The dining experience was recommended, although not up to other hotel standards. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel was in a convenient location near all the tourist places to visit in Canberra. The rooms were spacious with very comfy beds but looked tired and old compared to the photos we saw when booking. The service was polite, cheerful, and helpful, making the overall experience pleasant with attentive assistance. The dining experience offered a large selection of buffet-style food, but some items were disappointing. The facilities provided were average, but the courtyard lunch was enjoyable.
