Blue Dish - Canberra

So satisfied with how nice this place is for me and my family. Very satisfied with the service. The comfort of the bedroom was nice during the time we stayed. Great for families and kids. Breakfast is 10 out of 10. Next time I come to Canberra I want to stay at this place again.

We booked the King bedroom park view, our room is in ground floor, great so no need to take the lift. Car park lift is broken, so bit a hassle taking the stairs from and to. Breakfast is great, many selections and staffs are very friendly. The hotel is close to everything, Canberra centre is less than 5 min walk and the Glebe park next to the hotel is nice to take a stroll and bring children to playground.

Went to the restaurant for dine-in a month ago. I was too early and the kitchen was not open yet but the General Manager and restaurant manager were kind enough to have me seated and meet my requirements. This shows that the staff really cares about customer satisfaction and not in the business just for profit. Being a hotelier myself i know how hard and annoying it can be sometimes. So many guests in front of me broke the rule by entering from right instead of left stairs even though it was written on the board that right side stairs were for exit, but still the staff was calm about it and happy to assist them. Thanks a lot to the staff again for their extra effort.

The room was quite nice and equipped with much-needed air conditioning. They only provided milk and hot beverages. The location was convenient, close to the city and within walking distance of the lake where I attended a wedding. The motel staff were very helpful. Unfortunately, when I checked out, I left behind a beautiful navy dress. They haven't been able to locate it yet. I believe I accidentally left it in the wardrobe. I would really love to have it back.

The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and the food is quite good. However, I think the buffet breakfast could benefit from some sanitizing wipes for this COVID era, and the food warmers could be set a bit higher. On the bright side, the steak and pork belly for dinner were fantastic. The staff was attentive, although there was a long wait at check-in because a trainee was on duty until the manager stepped in and brought in additional staff to open other check-in stations. There are numerous signs around about ongoing upgrades and maintenance, including the out-of-service parking lift, but they do provide concierge services to assist with luggage.
