Parklane Motel

Room was great for what we paid.
Also very impressed with how clean the room was and the convenience of the layout of the room.
Beds clean and comfy and extra pillows and a blankey just how i like it!
Definitely come back again 🙂

I thought it was great value for money. My room was clean and neat, shower and bathroom were great. Parking ok. Overall a comfortable place to be without any frills as you expect from a motel. 😊

Really comfortable room w comfortable beds. Great location close to the fantastic City Park (couple of nice big Sequoia in there). Very helpful staff made after hours check in seamless. I would defs stay here again.

The receptionist helped us get the room we wanted with a view. Our room, (room27), had a great view and while the decor was classic we found it to be very comfortable. The heater and electric blankets are great.

The good-
Central location- walk to town centre, Coles, aquatic centre, bars
Nearby City Park- monkeys, ducks & playground
Self contained allows shopping/cooking
Comfortable beds
Adequate heating
Guest laundry with washing machine & dryer, wash 2 x $1, dry 2 x $1

The not so good-
Washing machine in laundry does not drain/spin- requires an additional $2 to run drain/spin cycle before drying. $6 a load total
Room not serviced for first 4 days of 7 day stay. Had to dispose of own garbage in neighbouring apartments dumpster. Difficult to manage when eating pizza/cereal etc with larger rubbish items & boxes/bottles. Eventually attended reception & requested room to be serviced as we had run out of toilet paper, coffee etc, & management informed we were supposed to ask for that. Daily vacuum/rubbish/towels is normally included in such motels so this was confusing to us.
TV only had 1 working channel. All others showed a blue screen & no vision.
No fan or cooler of any kind in room.

Overall a lovely stay, & a beautiful city, thanks for having us, we will be back!

This room had all that we needed for a couple of days in Launceston. The internet worked well, we could walk through most of the city very easily, and we loved being opposite the park which was just beautiful. The parking was good, and it was handy for travelling north and east on day trips.

Having paid $108 per night during peak season, my expectations weren’t set high. It is an older complex, at least 50 years old and has not had any major renovation since it opened. It’s a bit like a time capsule on the inside, but everything was clean and tidy, and mostly functional. The only real issues were a broken clothesline across the bath and the shower/tub water flooding the bathroom floor even with the curtain being used.

All rooms appear to be accessed via at least 1 flight of stairs with no lifts and the buildings being on a steep hill so keep this in mind. Thought it was a bit odd having a key safe on every door handle but this must be for their late check in procedure. I also like the thought of placing bigger bins on the walkways outside for extra rubbish. There is also no cooling except for 1 small portable fan, and a wall heater but the rooms are oversized with a large window that can be opened which helps. The TV is also quite out of date and can’t pick up half of the available channels. Reception was friendly and the location is ideal being very close to the CBD, the City Park and only a short distance from Coles and Kmart to easily stock up on supplies. Would stay again if my budget was tight.
