Clean and spacious room. Quiet. Five minutes drive to Dickson shops (Canberra's attempt at "Chinatown") and the sublime Dickson public swimming pool. Friendly staff. Outstanding value.

Had a family room that was separated into 2 sleeping areas which was a nice touch. Clean room, modern bathroom, quiet AC, lots of parking. Friendly staff. Only issue was that a toaster isn't provided and when requested was told none were available as it disrupted the power supply or something similar. I've stayed in literally hundreds of similar styles of accommodation and each had a toaster so this is a first!

Beautiful rooms, great staff and all the essentials. A slight nitpick is that the kettles were made of plastic which can be unhealthy. Besides that great stay! 10/10

The Tall Trees motel in Ainslee is a hidden little gem close to Dickson (and the tram) It's a old, safe and quiet suburb with lots of greenery (plants, trees, green grass, well maintained properties). The staff are amazing, the facilities are great and they're renovating to make it even better. It's a quiet place for a perfect stay, short or long. I was there with my wife and we are definitely coming back again due to all the factors mentioned above.
