Great location however.... Room does not look like it has been updated since the 70s. It was a particularly cold night and I only had a small portable panel heater in my room which was used on full the whole time and barely took the chill out of the room

Staff are sensational and a real asset The restaurant has very good food and a nice menu to select from. Food is tasty, well cooked and presented. Prices are very good. Have stayed there many times and its our "go to" for accommodation in Hobart. Easy to find, easy access and not in the busy centre of the city, but it is on the main road.

The villa was spacious and clean. The only downside was the noise from the road. If I had been staying longer, I would have requested a move. Staff were very nice. We hadn’t realized that the reception closed at 8.00 pm and restaurant. Unable to get food or room service.

Stayed for 2 nights as it was close to the Mona Art Museum. Although the motel looks dated, I believe this is intentional to give the retro feel. All the facilities in our room worked, and the bed was super comfortable. One of my best sleeps ever. We headed over to the restaurant, and we were pleasantly surprised with the menu. Breakfast gave us a wide selection. We had breakfast on both mornings. The pancakes were superb. We even had dinner there on both evenings. The staff at the restaurant were very accommodating, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Check-in and checkout went without a hitch, and the girl at the office was most helpful. We will definitely be back at the next opportunity.
