"Staff were very nice and helpful. We noticed that no one was picking up the trays from room service. Room was dated with lots of scratches on the furniture. Shower flooded ever time we used it. Most disappointing thing was they change their guest $25 a day to park at the hotel"

We enjoyed Canberra. We wish we could have stayed a little longer so we could have seen more of the sights. We were able to go to the Arboretum, the zoo, and the Parliament.
