I read a few negative reviews (along with many positive ones). I found the two Bedroom apartment option to be super clean and well maintained. This is great value for the amount charged in Canberra. I definitely recommend this hotel.

Enjoyed a great stay in a 1br serviced apartment. Staff very friendly and helped guide me to where my apartment was located. Apartment contained a massive recent model flat screen TV and I was able to connect my laptop to stream content as well as all the local free to air TV as needed. Kitchen well equipped and couch very comfortable. Apartment lovely and clean and in a very quiet neighbourhood. Top marks all around.

Was based on the ground floor but this meant that you could hear people upstairs walking around, using the bathroom and watching TV etc (also woke one night to a baby crying). Also had an issue with the kitchen sink not draining (which from the big hole in the garden bed adjacent appears to be "normal"). Rooms were clean and roomy though and beds comfortable.
