Avenue Hotel Canberra
Room and site in general was all well presented and clean. Bed was very soft hence the 4 stars instead of 5. Overall a terrific place to stay.

Pavilion on Northbourne
Old rooms and everything is old and worn. Still comfortable, just not modern. Noisy doors, have to nearly slam them them to close. Coffee & fridge area is tiny, shower in the bath with a shower curtain that doesn’t keep the water in. Very restricting for tallish people.
