Top hotels in Norwood
Hotel Grand Chancellor Launceston
Hotel looks old now. AC not working well. Water low pressure for shower. They tried to charge me for hotel parking that I already paid via online. They double checked and said I’m right. Need to watch out this to avoid double dipping from them.
