Argosy is located on the highway into Devonport. Very easy to find. Close to the Spirit ferries. There are three restaurants one formal with an extensive salad bar a Bistro with a drinks bar. The breakfasts both the cooked and continental are served in dining room with a chef and an array of foods for selection, juice, 4 cereals, fruit, yoghurt, freshly brewed coffee and tea. I booked on line and was extremely happy with my choice. I certainly will stay again. My thanks to ALL the pleasant staff.

Comfy and affordable
Comfortable stay. Price was appropriate for accommodation type, basic , clean, friendly service. The only issue was we ran out of handwash on first day and it was never replenished after 4 days. We were leaving early and back late so didn't get the opportunity to tell tge service desk but housekeeping should have realised each day they serviced the room.
