Not a bad stay for one night
"I don’t mind staying here when I’m in Launceston. I had a room near the lift and was surprised we weren’t bothered by the lift but we did hear the person next to us constantly opening and closing a cupboard door until 11pm. Other than that it was a good stay and I thought the shower was good."
