Overall great place to stay, only issue had is the glow of light that comes under the door which makes it hard to get off to sleep.

The facility is in a great location walking distance to the downtown shopping area/restaurants/coffee houses as well as the waterfront. It sits on a very busy street to one side so the room I had received a lot of street noise. In addition, the hotel bar has live entertainment on Friday and Saturday night which you can hear if your room is close to that part. If you are a light sleeper use ear plugs. The room was clean and as pictured. The appearance of the hotel when you walk in is a major disappointment especially as you go upstairs to the hallways. Paint is peeling off the trim work, the walls and trim are badly marred in places. Once you get in the room it is nice. The front entrance and hallways need a major update (dirty carpet on the stairs, paint, wall patches, etc.). Parking is an issue as it is not clear where to park when you arrive. There is a pay parking lot for which you get reimbursed by the hotel if you use but the parking machine did not take credit cards and I had no change. A suggestion would be for the hotel to provide you with a parking pass that you could place on your dashboard since it is a parking lot dedicated to them. Needs to be updated.

On arrival warm welcome of unit and property then hot baked bread arrived and the cheese platter for supper great food for breakfast generous allowance of food. Close to local pub (2 minute walk ) and (5min drive to centre of town) beautiful property to wal around and the rooms were outstanding. The most reliable holiday ever. Thanks for spoiling us. Long spa of a night and showers in the morning. Oh such a comfortable bed. Wonderful break

When we entered the back stairs that we were told to enter they were putrid. The back door was held open by a workers dirty boot and the hall and entry way had dirty smelly workman boots everywhere and the whole hallway stunk. When we first arrived the office person looked at us then turned and left the office. Didn't return for 15 minutes. meanwhile a girl that was cleaning the tables in the dining room kept looking over at us and another man and she could see we were waiting to check in. Finally she came over (partly shaved head) and checked us in. No apologies for keeping us waiting.

Great option for a quick stay when coming on or off the ferry. Central & well appointed. Good food at the restaurant. Do note, the pub downstairs has live music until 2am on Fridays & Saturdays, but I stayed here on a Sunday and it was quiet.

Staff were amazing, Restaurant can't fault. We had previously read that there was a DJ on the weekend, but as we were staying Tues/Wed we thought we were in the clear. Unfortunately, we didn't realise (was not informed previously) that we were checking in on the Devonport cup public holiday and that a DJ would be playing that night. The staff did inform us upon checking in that it would be noisy until about 11pm. We were also given the room directly above the DJ/bar and it was loud and our "last quiet night in Tasmania" didn't quite workout. Apart from this, everything else was great. It would have been great if we had received some warning beforehand that a DJ was going to be playing on a non-weekend day.

Last night of a driving trip around Tasmania. In the centre of Devonport, nice view of the river and Spirit of Tasmania. Walked out to the bluff along the river. Room was perfect for me, Thursday night so no loud music. Parking close and free.
