“In my opinion, this Canberra apartment hotel aims for convenience with its proximity to dining and attractions, but reported cleanliness issues are a concern. The spaciousness of the apartments and full kitchens appeal to families and business travelers needing longer stays, but maintenance should be addressed. Overall, the location and apartment-style living are pluses, yet some guests have reported experiences that don't meet expectations.”
