Crestview is more suited to workers from outside the area, and there were plenty of them during our weeklong stay. Only a handful of travelers like us. The rooms have the bare minimum so if you want to put something on a hook in say the bathroom or bedroom, or even hang something up in the closet, I suggest you bring your own, even over the door hooks, or a mat at the door to wipe the bottom of your shoes clean. There are no bedside tables, so you have to improvise, maybe a laptop for a tabletop or just put everything on the floor. Flourescent lighting, esp in the 2nd room is annoying as its so bright in every room. Owners could save more if that was changed to something like LED or just a side table light in each room, (lounge had one but it was wobbly, and we didn't dare risk using it). The parks clothesline just outside the laundry was broken. We were lucky to be in cabin 66, (Oct 2023), as we had one right next to us, but I think everyone else missed it as it is tucked away. Zero issues with maintenance and cleaner who reported our sliding door to second bedroom was jammed upon our arrival. Maintenance man came when he said he would, (he was working on a plumbing job, and we were seen to next). Very much appreciated. Our unit was very clean and tidy. The cleaners quietly go around their business in the morning. Pity they have such old equipment to work with. It stands out. Can't be missed. The cart/s in particular that they use are so outdated and, in my view, an OH&S issue if not already. They cleaners don't even have a uniform. Uniforms and new equipment are good for morale and work efficiency and can be written off as deductibles, so the owner/s aren't really out of pocket. It looks better for guests as well. This is another reason why I only gave Crestview 3 stars

Stayed in Twin Cabin #9 (3 people) to use our NSW Stay coupons. Canberra hotels don't take it. Not a great idea. - Clean and tidy - Good air-con - Good beds, very poor pillows - Overpriced for what it is (I suspect the coupons played a role here) - Noisy from the main road - Broken (unbearably noisy) fan in the bathroom - Not working porch light - Quite useless lighting - modern-looking bedside lamps way too bright and uncovered bulbs - ”Free'” BBQ wants a 1$ coin every three minutes or so. Go to the pub 200m away. - Automatic check-in system makes you to wait until 2pm to get in, even when you arrived not that early, at 1:35pm. I called them and they made me to wait for an SMS code to collect the keys while no-one was around and the cabin was ready.

This is a hotel that I definitely wanted to use again. The location is very convenient. The room was clean and comfortable. I felt that the staff was well educated.

One of the better motels we've stayed in. We had a ground floor queen room which was absolutely spotless, well appointed and had with a very comfortable bed. Everything worked and our room was made up daily. Originally, we were looking at other motels in Canberra itself but decided on Hamilton's based on price, reviews and proximity to the city. Other motels were more expensive and some were even charging overnight parking. Though this motel is on a main road we didn't hear the traffic at night. Hamilton's would be our first choice when visiting Canberra region again.

Well cared for, exceptionally clean and great value for money. This budget motel was surprisingly good with friendly staff and great amenities. A good low cost alternative to pricier accommodation over the border when visiting Canberra but just a few minute’s drive away.

This used to be a Best Western and was quite good - no longer.. Restaurant used to offer breakfast - no longer. I sat on the room couch (which looked like something retrieved from the tip, having flaking imitation leather which stuck to my trousers and some transferred onto anything else I sat on). No microwave, no cutlery other than a teaspoon, 2 mugs, one wine glass. Then a permanently open window in the ensuite and quite a small shower stall. It's a real pity as this used to be my preferred business overnight stay motel in the region and I'm hopeful that another will fill the gap left.

If you like looking at yourself in the mirror, this motel is for you. Apparently lots of mirrors are a decoration feature at this motel - there were heaps of them in the room I stayed at last year and plenty of them in this last room. That bit of weirdness aside, this is a great place to stay. Friendly and very helpful staff, really clean room with all the necessities, and an excellent breakfast included in the price. Good stuff. The only other things I'd mention is that the place could do with some maintenance (a tap was broken in the last room, and a drawer fell off its runner in this one), and the air conditioners are rather dated. They work very well - no complaints there - but they're rather old-fashioned. Overall, though, I have no hesitation in recommending the Grand Manor Motor Inn. Unless you have a problem with mirrors.
