I was travelling to Canberra at the last minute and needed accomodation. Canberra was virtually booked out. The woman at reception (Sharon) arranged a room for me and could've charged me a fortune, knowing I was desperate. Instead she gave me a great rate and, because I was turning up late, left the key for me.

They've obviously renovated recently, as the room was fresh and clean. Breakfast was terrific, especially at short notice.

The hotel was not as close to the city as I would have liked, but reception sorted out transport and a map.

I really liked the Manager (Peter), who was always happy to help me.

The Red Cedars Motel is the best place I've stayed in Canberra and I will definitely stay there again.

I went to Red Ceders on a school trip. It had bunk beds and doors that led in to other peoples rooms. The food was below average, and many people ended up getting terribly sick. It was OK though, But only if you want basic accomidation..

I didnt book this accomodation just rocked up in the dark.
It cost me $82 for the night.
The room was fairly old but clean, it had 1 double bed a table with a couple of plastic chairs, 34cm colour TV positioned at end of bed which I liked as I like watching TV in bed.
It had a reverse cycle split system airconditioner which is certainly a step up from the old noisy box airconditioners.
I was on the first floor and it had a balcony with a view, well it was open grass then a road, not the best view in the world but at least no neighbouring buildings.
The only minor fault was no curtain on the shower so a little water went on the bathroom floor but not much. I did like the shower head and the great water pressure of the shower, good therapy for aching muscles.
So if your happy with basic budget accomodation this is for you!
