The view was amazing over the Port Arthur Historical Site. Parking was tight. The bathroom had mould. It’s tired & run down. But it was a place to rest our head.

Everything was fine… only issue was parking for someone with limited mobility as there wasn’t a great deal of lighting in the dark from overflow car park.

Spacious clean room. Supplied with bottled water that was topped up each day. This was appreciated because the tap water wasn't that nice. Fairly comfortable bed apart from most of the pillows were too high; managed to find one suitable pillow. Weak wifi. The heater struggled to heat the room; this would have been partly due to the draught coming from gaps around the front door. Tiny fridge. Minimal crockery provided; two small dinner plates with knives but no forks. Provided with a tea towel but no other kitchen cleaning equipment. Great to have face washers but no hand towel.
