The hotel is conveniently located for self-driving visitors, making it perfect for day trips to beautiful destinations and close to essential amenities. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, though lacking the promised views. The service, particularly in the restaurant, could use a friendlier touch. The location offers easy access to nearby attractions, with some minor disappointments. Dining is limited to pre-ordered room service only, though the homemade Majorcan products are a nice touch. The facilities could be improved for a better overall experience.

The hotel is conveniently located for a day trip to the picturesque Huon Valley and offers easy access to shops and restaurants; however, it falls short in terms of proximity to major attractions and microwave availability. The rooms are reasonably spacious and bright, equipped with essential amenities like a toaster, kettle, and microwave, but are lacking in river or mountain views as advertised. The service was deemed rude, needing improvement and courtesy toward cleaning staff. The dining experience is limited to pre-order room service only. On the positive side, the property is close to Kingston Sports Centre and offers homemade soup at the dining facility.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The location was convenient for our day trip to the Huon Valley, although a bit out of the way for other activities. The room was spacious and perfect for a family, but unloading behind the unit was a bit challenging. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff. The dining options were limited to pre-order room service, and the lack of Wi-Fi knowledge was a downside. Overall, it was a comfortable and family-friendly stay.

My stay at the hotel was terrific! The rooms were modern and roomy, with the most comfortable king size bed and really comfy pillows. However, the lack of river or mountain views was a bit disappointing. The service was helpful and friendly overall, but I noticed a slight lack of good customer service at times. The location was perfect for our day trip to the beautiful Huon Valley, close to shops and restaurants. The dining options were limited to pre-order room service, but the homemade desserts were a treat.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and modern, perfect for a family. The fully equipped kitchenette made it so convenient, and the spacious layout along with the incredibly comfortable king size bed and plush pillows made it feel like a home away from home. The only minor downsides were the not so great unloading area behind the unit and the limited number of chairs available.

The hotel is conveniently located for exploring the beautiful Huon Valley and a short drive to Hobart. The rooms were spacious and clean, but unfortunately, the non-smoking room had a lingering smell of stale cigarette smoke. The service was friendly and helpful, with a warning about potential noise from the highway. The dining options were limited only to pre-order room service, and the lack of Wi-Fi understanding was a downside. The location is great for those on a self-drive trip but may be out of the way for others.

The hotel is easy to find for self-driving visitors and perfect for day trips to the beautiful Huon Valley, with close proximity to shops and restaurants. The rooms, although clean and comfortable, lacked the promised river and mountain views, and felt rather dated. Service was friendly and helpful, although lacking engagement in conversation.
