Pollard accommodation from NZ$103

Avoid this one. All of the other reviews are quite old and it is likely under different management. Upon walking in you'll be met with potent cigarette smoke from the old dining room that's been converted to an "arcade" room. Worse, I didn't even get to stay as when I arrived at their 24-hour lobby no one was at the counter. There was a note taped to the window saying they had to run to the bank and would be back in 10 minutes. I waited upward of 50 minutes, tried ringing the bell a few times, tried calling the number listed for assistance, no one appeared. I was hoping to have been asleep by this point so left to find another hotel. I contacted Expedia for a refund and they contacted the property owner. Eventually the property owner said they would not refund me but my reservation was still open. As soon as I'm back home I'll be filing a suit in court to recover my money if they decide not to refund me before then. I hate dishonest businesses and this is a dishonest business. Do not give them your money.

Baics hotel to get some rest in and sight see. Clean room and bed. Average breakfast.

A work buddy, and I stayed for 3 nights. Accommodation was very good and we will stay again. When in the area.
