Thank you to the respectable housekeeping members who have tidying up my messy bed and rubbish bin on my 3rd day stay while I was on busy work trips.
Apart from being a budget room from bed to the wall very narrow, the bed was soft but too much soft and sloppy on the bottom part, Hips and back was so soar after a night sleep, need a new bed I guess. Tea and coffee re filled after two days thank you. Easy access from coming and leaving Canberra.

Good place for an overnight or two day stay, could be cleaner. The kettle in the room could definitely be cleaner.

Bed was comfortable and clean, nice quiet room so good for a stopover
Staff left the room key in the letterbox and went home which is fine however they neglected to let me know which room I was allocated. So after a four hour drive I had to use my room key on each door.
Very unimpressed!
