Hobart Hotel Deals
"Our room was very spacious, clean and modern. We didn’t like that our room window faced a wall. There must be only at most 3 feet between our window and the wall of the next building! However, the spaciousness of our room made up for it. We loved the afternoon complementary chocolate treats. Breakfast was decent but pricey."
