Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was central to everything I went to. Plenty of parking for vehicles. It was CubaDupa weekend so I expected some noise but there were people (possibly outside) who were talking and laughing (nothing wrong with that except they went on until at least 3am.) Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and had all that I needed. I would stay there again.

Choose me if you're stranded in Wellington,
Emergenct stop thanks to Air NZ cancelling the last flight of the day home. Perfectly situated for the stranded business traveller, not expensive and a good room (size, facilities and cleanliness) for my needs. New World opposite to buy the essential toothpaste and toothbrush at not-airport prices and only a few dollars uber back to the airport in the morning. Reception staff were wonderful.

The Bay Plaza is a very affordable hotel in an excellent locality. We stayed in a king room on the 6th floor. It was a spacious room with a great view of the city and inner harbour snd had everything we needed. It’s an older hotel but scrupulously clean and the service was excellent with pjs Tigua car parking. We’ll definitely stay there again.
