Disliked: Amenities
The Formby Hotel was very inexpensive, quiet and convenient to the Spirit of Tasmania. It's an old hotel and the facilities show their age. However, the room was comfortable, the staff were very friendly, and I had a quiet, restful sleep after a tortuous Bass Strait Crossing. I was perfectly happy with my stay.

Decent place for location close to the spirit of Tasmania. The place does look a bit dated but good for a short stay and money value.
