Motel near civic

[tridentt150v]

Have to stay in Canberra soon, was wondering what Motel was the best near Civic. Need some sort of security/undercover parking for the skyline [all your horror stories have got me worried about car, paint and cd player etc].

Any suggestions?????? [no rude ones...............lol].

GTS_DUY,

Thanks, heaps of motels around civic, but i wouldn't know a good one from a rip off one, reckoned somebody on SAU should have a better idea [any idea is better than mine, I have noeyedear].

I might owe ya a beer or three..........................

saville park is good and pretty secure (its where all the rally guys stay when they come to town) but probably pricey too... how much you looking at spending?

How long you staying for? an interstate member coming up is always an excuse to go out for some drinkies

yeah what Nik said, depends on how much u want to spend

if you can leave it till a couple of weeks before you come i would try these sites for some bargains:

Not needed till 17th October, going to see Chris Isaak at the Royal [my missus loves him].

Thats a Sunday night, figured I'd cruise over Sunday, it's only 200km, stay the night, do a bit of shopping etc Monday and then head back home Monday arvo.

Don't mind paying, as long as the digs are good and the car is safe.

Willing to meet up early Sunday arvo for a while, then dinner and CI at 8pm.

Novotel in the city... rooms are pretty good, and from memory it has secure underground parking (you need a key to get in there). And its right in the middle of the city and about 5 mins walk to the royal theatre.

Thanks I'll give novotel and savilles a call, see what happens...........who's best etc, I like the idea of walking to the show.
