Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It’s never a good look when you pull back the covers of the bed to reveal someone else’s hair. Sitting on the toilet was a rocky event as it wasn’t securely attached to the floor. A very roughly done bathroom upgrade has it looking grimy and icky. No tv remote and the first room I asked to get moved from was mouldy and stinky. Convenient to spirit of Tasmania terminal but if you want some sleep stay somewhere else as it’s super noisy here too.

Very substandard

I found the room to be in pretty poor condition, Paint peeling, there was boards missing so exposed underfloor near the toilet, Aircon struggled to work efficiently and noisy. Bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable. I stay at a lot of hotels for work, and this has been the worst one in a long time.
