Really liked that its across the road from a shop and literally down the road from many food choices. My one complaint is no toaster or microwave.

Réception friendly and accommodating
Room clean and adequate, sufficient for a loo two night stay
-> I would say that the kettle and the sink were impossible to work together you couldn’t get the kettle under the tap to full it up - terrible set up.
Also could do with a plug to charge gadgets near the bed side of the room

There was no parking available at the hotel. It took up a good 30 minutes finding a park and walking back, time I didn’t have so I missed out on dinner.

Felt the hotel was very tired. Outside in need of painting and a good tidy up. Inside lobby ok but the halls on level 4 tied looking and rooms very basic. Not even any pictures.
i wouldnt pay anymore than the $73 per room that i paid.
Staff on arrival were pleasent but not offering and extra information especially when i asked about the hotel not having a restaurant for breakfast. No offer of Cafes in the area.
Not sure i would recommend this hotel to anyone

Friendly staff were happy to help with dining suggestions. The room was spacious, clean and had comfortable beds. You can see the age of the hotel in the hallways, but it is well maintained at a reasonable price, easy to get to by car or bus.

here as a layover for the Cook Strait ferry. The concierge was polite and friendly even though we only arrived at 11pm. The front hallway was ok, but upstairs a bit rough. The rooms were clean and functional, but also a bit tired. Beds were comfortable enough, and rooms were warm.
