We were allocated room 139 which has two commercial exhaust exhaust fans locate approx. 1 metre from the room window. One of the fans exhausted fumes from a commercial kitchen, with the odours getting into the room, it operated until 9.15 PM We could not identify the other fan but the exhaust duct was approx 600x600 mm. The room hade a view into the ceiling cavity an part of the kitchen This room has not outside view ant it is not fit to receive paying guests. Note: following a complaint to the manager we were upgrade to a suitable the following night. Jorge G.

This hotel, especially the rooms, needs an urgent facelift. The furniture is so old. The room was so cold and even when you put the air conditioner on it doesn’t warm the room as it should do. The bathroom door did not close and the bed was freezing cold. And, the food in the bistro was extremely disappointing.

On arrival reception person appeared very new and not well informed. Reception area could be improved in keeping with the hotel's history and the fire if it is in working order should be alight ( not sure about Canberra fire regulations re indoor fires) if possible.

2 night stay. Had dinner at Olim’s and 2 breakfasts

As per normal Staff were excellent and enjoyed the stay.
