Beautiful room with great views of the lake. Access to the hotel was tricky due to construction. Reasonably located and close to Canberra attractions like the City Center, walking paths, and parliament building.
After staying at a similar class hotel in Sydney we suddenly found our breakfast options to be severely limited. We realized that they do not make Omelettes!!!

Room was great - clean and good-sized, and the bed was comfortable. The bar downstairs was nice to have some drinks in after a long day.
The location of the hotel is good and walkable to some good restaurants. A bit of construction going on outside which can't be helped and will hopefully finish up soon.
