Frommer's Review

This hotel is next door to the National Convention Centre and Casino Canberra. Its car-oriented approach makes it a little inconvenient for pedestrians, but the gardens (Glebe Park) at the back are good for early-morning strolls. Rooms face onto internal balconies that look down to the restaurants below. Standard rooms are user friendly and comfortable; most come with one queen-size bed or two doubles. Parkview doubles overlook the gardens. Weekend rates drop dramatically, so it's worth checking the website.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; medium-size indoor pool; health club; concierge; business center; 24-hr room service; laundry service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
