Motel Mayfair on Cavell
The staff were very helpful and easily arranged a late check in for me. My room was a great size, very comfortable, a spa bath and views of Mt Wellington! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Hobart, especially if you have a car as they have onsite parking.
