For the benefit of older guests it would be good if a handrail could be provided at the steps of the 2 bedroom villas.

Great Value For Money”
I stayed in one of their spa villas and it was exactly as advertised and the staff were very friendly and accomodating. The only minor issues I can think of is just that their bowls were small and their fridge froze some of the food we put in there but those are trying to nitpick

Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback. It is unfortunate that your stay in Canberra was during such awfully hot weather. We do have extra fans for guests who require more than what the reverse-cycle air-conditioning unit provides. If guests would like one, they should contact one of our helpful staff at reception. We are pleased you were impressed with the rooms cleanliness. Kind Regards from the Carotel team.

Conveniently located in Canberra, it was close to many attractions in a quiet area. Facilities in the room were modern and clean. A pleasure to stay at for an economical price compared to similar places to stay in Canberra, and we would be happy to return on our next trip to Canberra.

It wasn't in a middle of city but it was not bad at all”
The motel was really excellent, the view was just massive and it wasn't located in the city but accessible by the public buses in which the bus stop is just in front of the motel

3 Day was just... OK”
I had a King motel room which was fine. Beds were nice and neat, bathroom was fairly old. Very clean but the toilet light kept flickering like a scary movie which made me lol. Check in was fine staff were easy and friendly and gave us directions to the local Woollies. Found my room easily enough. Not as many things to use such as plastic bowls etc if you wanted to make a salad which you really want if your trying to save a bit of money. The BBQ area was grotty after the last users and the bins were overfull on a Sunday morning meaning we had to trek further to find somewhere to put our rubbish. My gripes weren't so much with my room but moreso with two of my sister's and their families' rooms. One was in a room with a king and bunks. While waiting for her to cook some breakfast I looked up and the light fixture was full of bugs. Both the one above the bed and the one in the kitchen. Needless to say I was not impressed. In my other sisters one bedroom motel room I went to put some drinks in the freezer and found that nothing could fit in because it was practically all ice. It didnt look as though it had been defrosted in quite some time. Furthermore when she pulled out the single couch/beds there were copious amounts of sand and bits of dirt that fell out from them?!?! Housekeeping could definitely be improved. I needed new towels and instead of putting them back in the bathroom they were just left on the table. Beds weren't made which I found odd but perhaps they don't make beds and it wasn't the end of the world. For the most part it was clean and despite a few things mentioned being overlooked its still good value for money and I would return. It was an average stay but for what I paid it didn't really matter. I would recommend to families on a budget.

Great place for simple comfortable accomodation”
Very reasonably priced and comfortable. I am happy to stay here for regular visits. Only issue is lack of cleaning and servicing room during stay. Maybe that's the level of service supplied because pricing is very reasonable...
