Hotel on Devonport
Don't use expedia and pay for protection with a weather event you can't forecast, money down the drain. Rang the hotel they couldn't change due to expedia, just deal with the hotel in the future

Hotel Armitage and Conference Centre
Location was great, hotel was super clean and Parking is ample. Good stay overall. Just one suggestion, maybe its time for them to change their old aircon units.
