Okay, could have been better
Staff were great, location a bit weird in that we drove passed the hotel, then had to double back. The room was badly laid out, furniture really heavy to move and there was no fixed lights, all free standing. Lift was old and clunky

Walking distance to everything!
Walking distance from everything. Great restaurants nearby. Hotel had an awesome breakfast with lots of options - food and staff were great! Parking spaces were tight and even though we paid in advance for parking, space was limited and other guests parked there so when we returned, there was no spaces left for us to park. Hotel reception did find an acceptable accommodation for our van though, so it all worked out.

Conveniently located, offering fantastic value, tidy rooms, clean bedding, and a functional bathroom, including lifts. The buffet breakfast provided all the usual and expected items. However, the car parking facilities could be improved. Since parking is charged at NZD$15, they should offer secure parking, such as pass access through a boom gate or similar. Walls were paper thin, we could hear conversations next door to us. Overall, it was a pleasant stay at a great price.

Value for the money.
Parking very difficult to access with a big vehicle. Breakfast was good. Juan did an excellent job always busy and friendly. While a young girl with long straight black hair was chewing gum not a job look and im sure not company standard. Especially being part of a chain.

Well placed hotel, walking distance from the main high street and octagon. 5th floor suite rather tired in decor with wallpaper coming away from ceiling. Excellent staff, very welcoming and friendly. Parking is chargeable. Breakfast buffet somewhat limited in selection, but quality was ok.
