Pros:

Great location and spacious rooms. It didn’t feel like you were stuck in a hotel as the lounge area was separate from the sleeping area in the room.

Cons:

Shower door opened the wrong way so you had to get wet and cold turning on the water.

Not worth the stay this far out of the CBD.
Pros:

King bed was ‘horrible’. Two singles stuck together. Left side was sunken,
Right side was hard.

Cons:

Outdoor pool. Apartments around me had balconies where people smoked, right on the grounds of an AFL
Stadium - mower was out at 6am
Stairs were everywhere, restaurant was closed Sunday night (although it was a long weekend).

Pros:

The accommodation is very spacious, everything is great, just would have liked a bigger doona, it felt a bit small for the king bed. Also not mad on the bulky pillows.

Great heritage style room with good facilities and good location
Pros:

Large and comfortable room with good facilities - appreciated the microwave, sink and basic kitchen items. Old world charm and good outlook onto gardens. Good location on the edge of Hobart with good cafes and supplies within a short walking distance

Cons:

A longish walk from the car park up a gravel driveway was a little difficult for my partner who has mobility problems but we found a solution by temporarily parking on the driveway closer to the room.
