Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.

    I have stayed here in the past and remember how comfortable the bed is! Best bed in Canberra. There's also free parking and if you're here to see the gallery or the centre it is not far to walk on a nice day. Across the road you have access to the cafes and restaurants of the Hotel Realm, plus you can walk to either Kingston or Manuka.

    This is a budget apartment hotel so facilities and standard of furnishings and decor is in line with the low cost. The indoor pool was the deciding factor for my booking. The water was cool - apparently 25C - but not cold. There were plenty of towels. The gym had enough equipment for a maintenance work out. Towels were changed and garbage bag sorted every day except for the Public Holiday and Sunday. There was plenty of hot water. Nice outdoor area with bbqs for warmer weather. appreciate the free parking.
