I cannot say enough about this place. The staff was so kind and helpful. And fast- which says a lot bc I am from New York. The room was lovely - clean and the shower was warm. Even the elevators were fast. I loved the breakfast every day and I hope I get to come back to NZ bc I will surely stay here.

The property and staff were excellent. The only issue was a large religious group took over the public areas including all entrances, reception areas, and meeting areas in the lobby. Annoying.

The room was a reasonable size, clean, however, the bathroom needs re-designing because when you close the door to take a shower, water goes through a gap that spills over the outside floor. The location is good and walking distance if you want to go around the city.

The room was spacious enough and clean, the staff friendly, but the TV a joke, tiny, no smart TV therefor no internet connection for Netflix or similar, not even the option to connect ear plugs so one could watch a film meanwhile the partner could sleep
