Rydges Canberra
This hotel is now getting a little dated. My shower wa pretty old. The reality is that it was cheap to stay here and for the cost it was excellent. I am happy to have affordable nice accomodation. At the end of the day it is somewhere to sleep. The breakfast was dry md pretty ordinary.

Avenue Hotel Canberra
Apartment very comfy and great location. Breakfast is adequate and is somewhat disorganized, there don’t appear to be to be enough staff. On busy weekends it gets a bit chaotic. I will definitely stay at the Avenue again, but will go out for breakfast or self cater.
