The TRC Hotel
Here’s a good two-star hotel, rooms with and without their own bathrooms, combined with a bottle shop, restaurant, sport bar and convenience store.
En-suite rooms sleep between one and four while it’s two to four in the shared-bathroom ones. It’s a variety of bed configurations, but all have air conditioning, linens and bedding, while several have a television. All guests at the TRC Hotel may use the guest lounge, where they can make themselves tea and coffee.
A laundry service, free parking, free wireless internet, portable fans and cribs are provided too. Staying at this smoke-free venue, you get complimentary toiletries, space for storing your luggage and a front desk that is open from ten in the morning until ten at night.
Over in the Sports Bar, a popular place with the locals here in Launceston, there is a menu of counter dishes from a toasted ham-and-cheese sandwich all the way to chicken parmigiana and chips. If it’s games and gaming you are after, this is the place to be. There is Keno, Tote, a number of televisions showing Austar and Fox Footy, a table for playing a good old game of eight ball, banks of gaming machines and a jukebox. Opening at ten, it runs until midnight Fridays and Saturdays, closing a little earlier on other days.
The TRC Hotel has its own filling station, where there is also a convenience store so you can stock up on groceries, newspapers, cigarettes and confectionery, plus everything you need for your car. When it comes to alcohol shopping, beer, wine and spirits are on sale at a branch of Liquour Stax, a bottle shop (or off-licence to UK readers) adjacent to the hotel.
As the hotel is right inside Launceston’s Central Business District (CBD), it means you don’t have far to walk if you want to reach many of the other places of interest such as the amazing Cataract Gorge, Brisbane Street Mall, Penny Royal Adventures or one of the sightseeing cruises on the river. A shuttle bus to the airport (LST Launceston) is provided for an additional fee, or you can drive there in about fifteen minutes.
Located in Launceston CBD, this hotel is steps from Royal Park and Launceston College. Penny Royal Adventures and Queen Victoria Museum are also within 10 minutes.
This smoke-free hotel features a restaurant, a bar/lounge, and laundry facilities. Free WiFi in public areas and free self parking are also provided.
Housekeeping is not available.
