Review of TRC Hotel 2*

TRC Hotel Launceston — Had to hand over personal details that were handwritten (including credit card information) without any sense of security/privacy — No way to get luggage upstairs. The exit leading to the carpark had very steep stairs and the access keys given didn't allow you to come in through that entrance (only exit) — Bed itself was comfortable, but sheets — no fitted sheet, only a flat that kept coming loose, quilt/doona had no cover on it and was very itchy, one sheet had a hole and stain. — Was told at the time of booking that it was a room with a shared bathroom and that this was to be shared between two rooms. The room we were given had an "ensuite" of a shower (in the room, no separation whatsoever) and a basin in the room. This shower had severe drainage issues and almost spilled over the edge on to the carpet of the room (as again — no separation between the areas, merely a hole in the wall for the shower). This ensuite did not have a toilet, so we had to use the shared bathroom (not specifically complaining as were advised of sharing a bathroom in advance). Discovered a bathroom with separate shower, bath, and toilet which was for Ladies, and the same set up for Gents down the hall, only to realise these shared bathrooms were not to be shared between two rooms butamongst the whole floor. — No aircon/ducted heating/cooling in the room (that's ok, they provided a pedestal fan and mini heater if needed) but still had to endure very loud sounds of an airconditioning system all through the night. Also had a window that was unable to be closed and subsequently had lots of street noises and brought on a cool breeze that was not able to be blocked. — Missing a lot of basics such as no tissues. — Tried to use kettle in common room for a cup of tea. Majority of cups/glasses were dirty. Was unable to use kettle as it was empty and there was nowhere to refill it (without going all the way back to my room at the other end of the building which also violates the very strict "do not remove appliances from lounge" notice) Pros: You get what you pay for. Comfortable and (mostly) clean room in a convenient location. Free onsite parking and free Wi-Fi (that actually works! )
