The location and the price was why I chose this hotel and I wasnt disappointed – note that it is on an incline so if you are walking back from the town its on a hill, I loved the fact I could walk everywhere

THE OWNER
Lets start here! Tim, who is the owner and lives local is sensational and really makes the stay absolutely awesome!!! He has a yarn with all the guests at breakfast (which was included) and makes the effort to ask questions and get to know the guest 🙂 wow – what a difference this makes to a stay! I never realised it until I met Tim – what I also loved was that you can tell he has REAL PRIDE in his business as he talks excitedly about the upgrades he is going through and this excitement for the business flows on to the staff that work for him who were all lovely, happy, friendly and helpful

1. I was upgraded upon checkin – my room was awesome! Top level great views!
2. I had a late checkout which was great as I had a late flight
3. Help with info on where to go and what to see – specifically Tim saying to come down and see him daily if I needed help on where to go
4. Shuttle service to airport help
5. Had an early check in at 12pm – Tim accomodated me as I had an early flight

You can also upgrade and pay for a hot breakfast

BREAKFAST
Amazingggggg fresh fruit!!! Chopped fruit around 8 options – this was the best part for me!
Also choices of cereals and juices
Toast – white / brown / raisin with jams honey peanut butters
Black Coffee

THE ROOM
Wow! Loved it! Nice, clean with awesome views!! I was lucky to get upgraded and had top floor views over Launceston town and I couldnt wait to head back to the room after a day of exploring

The bed was soooooooooooo comfortable and the BEST pillows ive ever experienced – I hope I can find 1 to buy for myself! So good!

When I got upgraded, I got the family suite so there was a little room at the back with a single bed inside

The view from the top level was fantastic overlooking the town

Mini fridge and microwave with cutlery if you want to have your own meals (which I did) so was perfect for me and one of main reasons I chose this accom

Also plenty of space to store all your clothes shoes etc
