“Garden City Hotel, while perhaps a bit dated in its overall presentation, offers a solid, practical stay, especially appealing to those prioritizing value. The on-site restaurant and bar provide convenient dining options, and the pool area creates a relaxing escape; its location, a short drive from Canberra's central attractions, makes it a reasonable base for exploring the city. I think the friendly staff and ample parking further contribute to its ease, suggesting a reliable choice for budget-conscious travelers.”
