Positive Reviews
positive:
Pretty, quiet setting...
Many guests love that the hotel is surrounded by natural bushland, describing it as both beautiful and quiet at night, yet easily accessed from the Federal Highway for a straightforward drive into Canberra CBD and its many attractions. Spotting the kangaroos and other wildlife on the property is a highlight for many travellers as well.
positive:
Room for the whole family...
Families generally consider the spacious Family Rooms a "bargain" because they have so many beds, and they also appreciate the many outdoor play opportunities on site (tennis court, pool, and playground.) Guests also frequently mention the complimentary buffet breakfast as part of the property's good value for money.
positive:
Friendly, helpful staff...
The front desk and management staff frequently receive rave reviews for their friendly and accommodating manner, though they sometimes struggle to resolve issues to every guest's satisfaction. Reviews of the restaurant are also fairly mixed.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Walking into spiderwebs...
Keeping the spiders outside seems to be a challenge associated with the hotel's natural setting. Cobwebs and similar housekeeping oversights have also been reported, as well as maintenance concerns related to the property's advancing age. Guests have also been put off by the "basic" level of room amenities and "dated" decor.
negative:
Running hot and cold...
Guests have reported difficulty maintaining the water temperature or pressure in the showers. Others have struggled to adjust to the room climate, citing air conditioning or heating issues.
negative:
Follow the map...
The property is arranged in blocks, and guests have had difficulty finding their rooms, especially at night. Some also struggle to find the property itself using a sat nav.
