Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart
Overall a good stay in a great location. Staff and front desk were friendly and attentive throughout. The restaurant was satisfactory, although it was disappointing that coffee was charged as an extra. Valet parking was also significantly overpriced, particularly given the somewhat inadequate parking ...
