Meriton Suites Canberra
Pool was closed for to maintenance when we stayed here but the hotel was just fine. Sound travels in the hallways - typical of Meriton build quality. Otherwise fine and very good location.

Novotel Canberra
The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was small but adequate and the water pressure for the shower was great. The cupboard doors were slightly chipped. A refresh would improve the room.
