Location in Thorndon w parking even though it was an additional $28 nzd was awesome. Bed sooooooo comfy - excellent accommodation walking distance from everything…
Decor is a bit dated - carpeting dark and yet the room itself was lovely - just not a fan of the colors - prefer muted tones.

Stayed for one night before catching the ferry to the South Island. Hotel location perfect. Room comfortable and clean, ideal for a short stay. We accidentally left a folder in the room. Contacted the hotel and they readily posted it on to us. Very impressed.

Comfy bed, windows opened up, tea and coffee provided. Good space for a night or 2. Nice reception areas and onsite cafe etc
My room was a bit tired and dated, and not quite matching the new and modern contemporary optics that the front of the building and reception areas signifies
