We spent a week at The Ibis Tall Trees motel which is conveniently located in the Ainslie area of Canberra. There’s a local shopping centre within easy walking distance where we bought groceries, had a meal with friends, bought some amazingly good lamingtons, refilled a prescription at the chemist, found a good book at a free book library stand, and if we had time I would have gone to one of the two hairdressing salons there. There are two sets of dinnerware including mugs and glasses if you want to have a meal or two in your room. A bit further away is the larger Dickson Shopping Centre and access to the tram line for travel to downtown Canberra as well as the EPIC Showgounds and further on to the end in Queanbeyan. The friendliness of the front desk and auxiliary staff were commendable. It did seem that the motel was full or nearly so at times - I feel this impacted on the cleaning staff’s ability to thoroughly clean and vacuum our room at times. All in all - a great experience - and we’ll be back!
