Leisure Inn Penny Royal Hotel & Apartments
Great location with very handy parking. Bathroom is tiny but room reasonably generous. Our stay was spoiled somewhat by there being no noise insulation between us and the room next door through the interconnecting door. We shared tv from 7 am and snoring at night.

Commodore Regent Launceston
Room was excellent. No electric blanket though even though information said there was. Some things we thought should be included were: bottle opener, cork screw & tea towel. Also heat pump needs a clean as blowing cold air
