Needs to be updated

I was disappointed with the condition of the Hotel. I had stayed there many years ago and remember it being better maintained than now. The shower was old and the room in real need for an update.

I had forgotten how many things there are to see and do in Canberra and wished we had arranged to spend more time there.

Good service, but a couple of let downs

Service was friendly and efficient, particularly at the "Haig Restaurant" on the ground floor, although some of the meals are a little pricey for what you get. Easy to find the hotel, being on the main thoroughfare through Canberra. But two big things let the hotel down. Firstly, unless you own a small car, you'll struggle to park your car in the undercover car park due to the spacing of the building support pillars.

The parking spaces are very narrow and you literally have to park with one side of the car against a cement wall, unless there's an empty space next to yours. The other thing is the noise from the road out the front. Make sure to ask for a room out the back else the road noise can be quite intrusive. They do supply ear plugs in the bathroom, but I hate to stick anything in my ears. Double glazing the windows of the rooms near the front of the hotel would be a way to fix this.
