West Montagu Holidays from AU$409

Worn-down plush elegance. If you like a bit of grit, this place is for you: 3m ceilings, but only a pull-cord heat lamp & electric mattress warmers to stave off the chill. 2-hour kerb parking with reassurances that it “should be fine” is the Free Parking advertised! Room doors require two free hands to open so don’t juggle too many bags. No table, dresser, shelf or rail, so hang your clothes on two hooks on the door. Once there was a TV because cables hang from a mount on the wall. The “lounge” has an awkward TV with local channels, next to the panini press (no slice toaster) and microwave. This is where the fridge is, down a very long creaky hallway and across the regal upstairs lobby. While there, may as well check out the gorgeous second-floor wrap-around veranda beneath the building’s iconic arches, overlooking the town (in which this hotel is the most impressive). If you are in one of the farthest rooms like I was, the closest washroom is a tiny one down a hallway leading to the fire escape. The nice & big washrooms across from rooms 12/13/14 are bright and clean. WiFi was okay, better on laptop than phone, which disconnected a lot. Modern outlets and light switch by bed is convenient.

Plenty of room. Enjoy our stay.

Good stop for a night as we are wandering across Tasmania.

Very clean safe and basic.

Good value for money
