Great location. Convenient parking. We stayed here on either side of our holiday in Hobart and made for a great base for a comfortable night before & after travel. The value for the money is outstanding. Just what we needed and the little kitchenette and decent-sized bathroom were welcome amenities not usually found at this price point.

I ended up staying 4 nights as it was very affordable, but at no time did they clean the room, the bin was over flowing and no one checked the room to maintain it throughout my stay. I have stayed in other motels before and the room had been maintained. The room was on the old side, but, the bathroom was equiped well enough.
