“Mercure Canberra merges historic architecture with modern expectations; I think its charm lies in the 1920s character, plus recent bathroom renovations. The pet-friendly policy is a real advantage, complete with private courtyards, and the on-site dining options offer flexibility. It's a convenient base to explore the city's attractions.”
