The ad on expedia is somewhat misleading as many of the pictures utilised are not of the Little National Canberra. They're from a selection of hotels in the Doma group within a 'precinct' . The gym facilities are not within the hotel, they're in another hotel and you have access to use them but I'm not certain whether it's free to use.

Great stay! Great value! Only note is there is a bit of construction going on currently around the outside of the hotel and is a consideration for future stays within the medium term.

They charged for parking despite the booking site indicating free parking, shower had no hot water, and there are no fitness facilities on site despite photos indicating otherwise, and one staff member was decidedly rude.
