Overall the hotel itself was nice but we did run into a few issues. One was that there was no kids menu (this was my oversight) although the Auckland, Canterbury and Dunedin hotels all have a kids menu. Next someone called my room (for a nice reason) at 9pm when I had a 4 year old asleep. Lastly the cleaner entered my room when I was getting dressed as they had marked us as checking out when we hadn’t.

We really enjoyed our stay and staff made excellent recommendations for dinner and places to see. The bar offers fresh juice of local fruits in the lobby for all hours. Nice for Uber access and near the trolley pick up spot and Regent street which offers many food choices.
