We haver seen a motel so dirty we should have returned to Sydney or anywhere. Food under the bed stains on ( well every where ) My dog keeps her kennel cleaner more

I am mid-40's, well travelled and not too precious. This is the only hotel that I have ever checked out of within 10 minutes of checking in. Upon entering my room it took me 5 minutes to absorb the situation, and another 5 minutes to arrange for a reservation at another hotel. Believe everything you read in the other reviews... more

I did read the reviews about this hotel before our roadtrip but booked it last minute during our journey hoping they were exaggerated, they werent.!! the first room they gave us had not been cleaned, beds unmade, dirty cups still there. staff were very apologetic & gave us another. next room was tidy but mould on shower curtain, shower sprayed... more

THE WORST HOTEL THAT WE HAVE EVER BEEN IN !!!!!!!!. I feel sorry for the staff that have to listen to all the complaints. Everything that has been said in the previous reviews is so true but we have now lived it. This place should not be allowed to be advertised anywhere, it should be condemned!!! ! Our first room... more

I stayed here because others, who should have known better, organised it. The owners do not look after the building. It smells. There is damage throughout. The, ahhh, cleaners I think they are called, seem to be on strike. I was too scared to walk around on the carpet - anywhere - without shoes. Two of the rooms were filthy... more

It's really rundown, the awning at the front of the building was damaged with holes in it, and covered up roughly with a... more

I stayed here in March 2009 for one night on business. Parliament was sitting, so this was one of the few options still available when I had to travel to Canberra and was only able to book a few days ahead. I paid $120 a night, which was overpriced, but Canberra is like that - places that otherwise would have... more

My stay at City Gateway was a special trip for my son and I but was very different to add. First impression was bad due to water damaged veranda at front - old smoke smell inside & when in our room cracked windows & empty chip packet in beside cabinet . Was advertised with pool , which was one of... more
