Good place to stay

My wife and I stayed here our first two nights in New Zealand from USA in mid-February 2025. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the harbor and a full service grocery. The front desk staff were helpful, friendly, and accommodating. The room, while dated, was in good condition and the bed very comfortable. It was warm outside but the air conditioning worked nicely. The modest kitchen facility in our room served our needs. We would stay again. (Sorry, world about our nation's mistake in re-electing Trump.)

Rooms were spacious but the couch is rock hard and uncomfortable. There were plaster spackle spots in the bedroom, shower is tiny and the kitchen floor tiles were cracked/missing. Chinese restaurant next door leaves the lobby with an overwhelming smell. Unfortunately the bowls and cutlery were dirty and I had to run them all through the dishwasher. View of the sky tower was fantastic. Spa pool is pleasantly hot.

Kitchen was very poorly stocked. Couldn’t do anything. Half a bottle of milk still in the fridge from another guest which was gross. Shower curtains I have not seen in a hotel for a very very long time. Aircon would not go lower than 24c even when it ran all night.

Stayed on the 8th floor with amazing view of the harbour. The suite was quiet and well equipped but the bathroom required refurbishment. The swimming pool was also out of commission for the whole of our 3 night stay which was disappointing. Reception staff really friendly and helpful.

We had a studio room on level one. The balcony was dirty but still nice to have. Great location and helpful staff. We had two issues: bathroom wasnt good...small with dirty grout and broken shower head...they did rectify this when we asked and was mich better. At night the street noise was very disruptive - so much so we couldnt sleep. Cars racing and people partying...no fault of the hotel but was loud in our room. So overall the experience was a bit mixed.
