The location was ok but you really needed a car to get to the city. A shopping centre was less than 5 minutes away by car which was handy. The room was quite spacious and had the standard coffee, tea, toaster etc. Cleanliness was average as there were a few streaks of something on the table and the base had a layer dust.

Very clean and modern inside, comfortable beds and in-room facilities were great. Only issue was the occasional waft of smoke from the smoking area. Will stay again, good affordable option close to Hobart.

Weekend trip
Room was for 4 people for a sports comp in Hobart. Pricing was best in Hobart as we required 4 beds, room was comfortable for the time we were in it, and most importantly clean. Swimming pool was clean, cold but good for the 2 of us that used it. Will stay again.
