The heater/fan in the bathroom was leaking water on bathroom floor when it was raining. The shower looked like it had not been cleaned from previous guests. Bed was clean and comfortable. There must have also been a problem with heat pump/cooler.. After using and turning off it continually clicked. The only way I could stop this was to remove key to cut off power supply in room. Might need to be checked. Found it hard to sleep with the noise.

The motel room was very small as well as the shower recess. The window could not be closed properly. We found one cracked plate in the cupboard with tasteless coffee. The window view faced a dumped car in an overgrown field. There was no bus stop, so we had to take an Uber to the city centre.

Room was for 4 people for a sports comp in Hobart. Pricing was best in Hobart as we required 4 beds, room was comfortable for the time we were in it, and most importantly clean. Swimming pool was clean, cold but good for the 2 of us that used it. Will stay again.

Give this place a try
Booked a Deluxe double room and facilities were ideal for our stay. The room was clean, with fridge, microwave, tv and bowls, plates and cutlery. Ample car parking and very little street noise. Plenty of flyers within reception for ideas on what to visit within Tasmania. Reception was very helpful and a request to stay an extra night in the same room was able to handled on the spot. Overall, only have positives from the stay and will be looking at stay there on my next visit to Hobart.
