“pay more and get something decent”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 March 2010
1
person found this review helpful

what can i say this place is a dump, The room was crap old, dirty with a crap double bed. The fridge stunk of mold and the mouldy smell in the room was masked with some cheap air freashner. I was dissapointed . The whole place was run down and needed a lot of work . Having a shower was impossible due to changing water presure. Some clowns partied all night in the hall way making sleep impossible

If you like a relaxing holiday dont choose this place , pay a bit more for a decent room in a decent hotel , i was dissapointed , and if i had not handed over my cash would have just cheaked out and gone else where

“Great staff - very basic motel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2010

person found this review helpful

Large room but in need of major upgrade. Stayed in a budget room. Bed sagged in the middle and most uncomfortable. Bathroom sink so small that brushing teeth was difficult. Very small TV made viewing a challenge.
On the plus side, it was very quiet and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.
Could be a great motel if it had a major upgrade.

One of the good motels we have stayed in Australia. Spacious family rooms & lots of parking space at the back. Happy to be back in future.

“Clean and Comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2009
1
person found this review helpful

I have stayed here numerous times, almost always in either room 50 or 54.

It is clean, comfortable and affordable, and it has history - It was built in the late 1800's. (It is believed that the tower was built for an invalid child, who spent most of their time in the tower, overlooking Hobart).

It is not a very modern motel, and there is no couch or kitchen sink (most motels don't have these, anyway), but it is very comfortable, which makes up for that. It is about a five minute's drive to the CBD, and it has a big car park.

The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Room 8, which is in the inside part of the building, second nearest to reception, is newly renovated, and I stayed there for two nights last week. The heating is not very good, which is not good when it is cold, and the bathroom door doesn't close properly, but otherwise, it is nice and spacious, and suitable for a family of four.

The double bed is in the main part of the room, with two large windows, a TV, a table with chairs and a kitchen area and wardrobe. There is a door separating it from the other bedroom, which has two single beds and one TV.

One time, when we stayed in room 50 or 54 (I think it was 50), there were toenail clippings on the floor, and we had to get a vacuum from reception and vacuum them up. This is the only time it has not been very clean, and the staff were apologetic for it.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about staying here.

“Great location, value for money - need minor upgrade”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2009

Our 2nd stop after Melbourne was at Tower Motel. Located in New Town, North Hobart. 5 minutes drive to the city via the Brooker Hwy, or a 10 minutes drive via Agryle Road. Good location. 5 minutes drive to Elizabeth St., where cafes are open till late night. Big parking.

Nice view. Clean rooms, but the bed was rather saggy / old (no bugs), good thing is fitted with heated matress pad. Overall above avarage, but value for money.
