stayed there previously, many years ago. this time disappointed with miniscule supply of soaps etc... even though we were there for 2 nts. Written policy was if we needed more, then could purchase at reception. Not good enough.

Good but some disappointments
While the room and service were fine, we had problems with the air-conditioner. It was loud, and switched from warm to cold without being programmed to do - problematic in the middle of a Canberra winter. Also, on our departure morning we found water at the base of the fridge, and found it had never been turned on at the power point and had defrosted; this was a problem for us, as we had stored meat and milk in the fridge section, which had gone off and had to be thrown out.

We were disappointed. The pictures indicated a nice place, but it was not. Guests are required to clean glasses/cups that were used.....they were really, really unclean. Towels used by previous guests were left hanging on door hooks. I am not sure that the sheets were changed as they were loose and wrinkled. There were ants in the kitchenette area. Picky? Maybe, but we expect the room to be 'finished'.

This property was perfect for our stay and very comfortable.
There were ants in the kitchenette on our first morning and there were some stains on the curtains and the back of the sofa.
The beds were very comfortable and even though it was cold for our stay, the bedding and accommodation was very warm.
We would stay here again.
Thank you :)
