Would stay again for convenience
Pros:

Appreciated the heater in the room as Launceston was pretty cold. Check in was convenient as we arrived late. Appreciated the room being made up when we were out for the day. Free parking was a plus

Cons:

The location is a little out of the nicer end of town but it is still very walkable if you are going for a few drinks. Would have appreciated a bottle of water in the room free of charge, the snacks and water left there were over priced.

Lovely hotel in convenient location
Pros:

Super convenient location, lovely decor, comfy bed.

Cons:

The TV in my room wasn't working, but in hindsight that wasn't actually a bad thing. Otherwise, it would be great to see recycling bins for guests in future.

Pros:

Stayed before, always friendly staff, clean rooms, all in all an easy way to spend some time in town when I'm at conferences and events.

Cons:

The water pressure in the upper rooms is pretty lacking. Not a deal breaker but the ground floor has noticeably better showers.
