Property is a bit tired and could do with a bit of a freshen up, that aside, bed was comfy, bathroom a little on the cramped side but immaculately clean. There is an onsite restaurant (that only does takeaway) and guest laundry ($5 load) and easy walk to Manuka where there are loads of places to eat and a Coles to grab any nessecities
