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.

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!
