Nightcap at Burnie Townhouse

8/10 Good
"The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, and the location was very convenient, within easy walking distance of Burnie town centre and local restaurants. The main downside was the parking. We weren’t able to get a parking spot at the hotel during our stay and had to use paid parking in the surrounding streets. The hotel restaurant kitchen also closes at 8:30pm on weekends, which was a little inconvenient when working late and returning to the hotel in the evening. Other than those two issues, we were happy with our stay and the hotel overall."
