We stayed here last week for two nights. The room was ok, about as much as you would expect for the cheapest accommodation available in Canberra. On the evening of our 2nd night stay (about 5pm), my partner started noticing red itchy bites starting to appear. Originally we thought they were mosquito bites, but after I had a look at... more
