Positive: I liked it’s location because it is central to everything- restaurants, library, beach, ferry, supermarket, park, walkway up the hill. I like that even if it’s old, it was still clean and the people are helpful and accommodating. I left my chargers and they immediately called me and held on to it until I was available to pick it up.
Negative: I am quite sensitive and particular to certain scents and lights. The scent was just not for me so I had to find a scent I like to spray in the room and I had to air out the room all day which meant leaving the window open even if it’s raining outside. I also need to use eye mask because the street lights can get into the sides of the curtain which means the room can still have a bit of light when you sleep at night.
Summary: Clean and convenient with location but just be mindful if you are sensitive like me

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location in Devonport opposite the city and over the road from the ferry terminal
Negative: Our room was cramped with three adults and a child. There is a small bar fridge in the room and cups and glasses. On request they brought us a kettle, toaster, plates and cutlery. No microwave available. No cafe on ground floor as advertised and therefore no breakfast available.
Summary: The hotel is old and in need of a major rejuvenation. The hotel was close to where the event we were attending was locat
