James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor
No safe in the room. At checkin, four counters, only two manned, big queue. A management type arrived, looked at the queue and went away again. He did not call for extra staff.

Gilmer Apartment Hotel
A great location, close to the town. Quiet and clean. Just what we needed in the city, and the basic kitchen was a bonus.
