Was put into a room, unlocked room to find it hadn’t been cleaned yet. So went back to reception and was given another room. Fan in bathroom was full of dust and cobwebs. Fridge made an annoying noise during the night. Shower had a leak. Bed was firm and pillows were uncomfortable. Didn’t feel cared about. Just a number paying for a room. I’ve stayed in a few nightcap hotels and this has to be the worst one so far. And we stayed 2 nights. I’ve stayed in numerous places and never once had the cleaner come in during the stay. We went out and come back to our towels changed. I felt like what a waste. Seems they go in every room every day no matter what. There was no do not disturb option either.

A convenient place to stay for a meal, drink and early morning getaway for the Spirit of Tasmania. The room was updated to current standards. The king size bed was comfortable. The extra bed was useful for putting things on. It was quiet overnight. We ate at the ‘all you can eat’ buffet, which had a huge assortment of food. It was reasonably priced for seniors. I didn’t like the noise level. There was music from above added to the cacophony of running and shouting children and parents. People were constantly walking passed our table.

Room was nice. Good space. Bathroom had excellent shower. Wifi didn't work. Bed was facing the telly against the wall yet said bed was on wheels making it incredibly difficult to lay back in bed without pushing the bed forwards.

I have stayed at this property a few times and always say great staff and the food is great and well priced. The only thing I would say is the bathrooms need another down light where the shower is as it’s very dark and as a result sometimes the cleaners miss spots like spider webs in the bathroom ect.
