Great location

Location is great near to everything. My boys minimizes their voices because there is a charge of $85 for noises. No sky Tv though just normal 5 Tv chanel boys wanting to watch movies. But other than that was good.

The property is undergoing renovations at the moment and the in-house restaurant is not available. We didn’t know this until check-in. The room was road facing/frontage, and traffic noise was ample. No lift/elevator available. Other than that, great stay. Would recommend.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pictures do no match the state of the very dated property. It is under construction and not even connected to the Hotel. I had to access through a bottle-store carpark. No security lighting outside, very noisy and unsafe. Lights inside were difficult to find and electrical connections did not look safe. It was very cold with inadequate heating and TV didn’t work.

Mixed review. Bedding was good, heater was not working the first night. No housekeeping on public holidays (Matariki) so our beds were not made and bathroom not cleaned (one of the reason why I love to stay in hotels is because I dont have to do that). Renovated part (bedroom part) is lovely and modern. Bath very slippery (there is a plastic grip mat but still unsafe), old, shallow with and mould on silicone.

Christine

Liked: Cleanliness

Never again

A clean and fairly comfortable room, if somewhat dated, but check in procedures and communication about changes to these procedures very poor and contradictory. Furthermore building on site means a temporary wall has been erected outside my window, blocking out light, sun and view, and the hotel restaurant was also closed. As it was the weekend there was no building noise but week day clients will be highly inconvenienced. This should have been signalled on booking. I will not stay here again.

Liked the location, plenty of fast food,cafe's and supermarkets. But lack of Air Cond, made room too stuffy at night. No sink meant the jug had to be filled up up in the bathroom. Limited utensils and no dish washing liquid to wash anything. No toaster or hair dryer, so be prepared to pack everything including the kitchen sink.

The staff was welcoming and explained to us where our room was located. It was about a 200metre walk from reception. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment. Wonderfully spacious, each bedroom had its own bathroom (x1 with shower only and x1 shower over bath). The beds in one of the rooms were so soft and uncomfortable. The kitchen space was adequate, although there was hair in the freezer yikes! The place is very dated but clean enough. We just stayed one night so it was fine.

The room was lovely, clean and sunny with a little veranda that you could get a bit of fresh air. The beds were comfortable and decorated to a high standard. It will be great when the restaurant is open. We have no hestitation to stay again. Thank you. (The only thing to have improved the room is to repaint the bathroom ceiling as the paint is peeling off. We had an iron but no ironing board).
