Hotel Grand Chancellor Launceston
This place is in massive need of an update. The carpet in the main hallways is torn and rippled so poorly I could barely run my suitcase on it. The walls are pretty dirty. The bathroom is absolutely atrocious and needs to be simply gutted and redone.

Village Family Motor Inn
Not a bad place for an overnighter. Rooms very outdated but functional, newly painted and felt clean.

Art Hotel on York
Boutique style hotel. Nice room, good location. Car park was good. Small negatives were (a) no spare toilet roll, and (b) no body wash.
