great value stay in Watson, Canberra
Just an overnight stay for a Canberra Museum visit. Ibis budget was very basic (as we knew) but staff nice, breakfast really good (cereal, fruit fresh and tinned) toast, pancake machine and coffee) . Bed comfortable, room warm and hot shower. All we needed. What's not to like

Location
Staff were excellent. Room was perfect for a solo traveler, or a couple with child. Plenty of teas and coffees, which was a bonus. I didn't care about a view as I had the blind closed anyway. Would stay again as also very convenient.

They say budget and they are very budget. Maintenance is very poor and they would be at risk of closing if they do not do some basics in the near future. Otherwise clean and staff are pleasant and helpful.
