"Met our travel needs"

"Was everything that we needed for a comfortable stay at an affordable price. "

"lovely house for a couple or a whole family. Fully equipped with everything you could need, including a large attached garage complete with an AC Electric Vehicle charger!Location a bit down-market, but close to shopping centres and clubs, and very secure with the lockup garage with internal access. Don't be put off by pics on Google Maps. The house shown has been demolished and replaced with a lovely new one!"

"Clean room with microwave,jug. Good airconditioning. "

"Excellent Stay – Perfect for a Family Weekend! We had a wonderful long weekend at Mid City Motor Inn. Everything was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. The staff were warm and helpful, the location was quiet yet convenient, and parking was super easy. Our family loved the peaceful garden area — and the friendly cats that hang around the carpark made our stay even more memorable! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a clean, welcoming, and well-located stay near Canberra. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"Good property, clean, very tidy, well provided with microwave, small plates, bowls, knives, forks and spoons and tea towel. They even cleaned the bowls and spoons and knives for us each morning which was very nice."

"We stayed for 10 days as a family of four, and were disappointed by the lack of care and follow-through. Only four towels were provided for the entire stay — no spares, no mid-stay replacement, not even basic instructions for requesting more. For a 10-day booking, that’s simply not acceptable.The listing advertised a high chair, which was one of the reasons we chose this property. However, the policies contradicted that and no child amenities were actually provided. If you’re travelling with children, be aware that there is no family support here despite the misleading description.The dishwasher was another issue — it was switched off when we arrived, then leaked all over the floor when we used it. We cleaned up the mess ourselves and reported it immediately. The host acknowledged the problem and said it would be fixed, but nothing happened. There’s visible damage to the floor near the unit, suggesting this wasn’t a new issue, just one they hoped to avoid dealing with.A final detail worth knowing: the yard is not private. This is a shared property, with a family living upstairs who have open access to the garden area including behind the rear-facing bedroom windows. This was not clearly disclosed in the main description and should be flagged more prominently.Overall, this stay felt like a case of style over substance. The essentials weren’t met, guest comfort was an afterthought, and communication lacked follow-through. We left feeling let down and would not stay again"
