This was such a lovely hotel. 10 minute walk from the water and lots of great restaurants. I really appreciated that the front desk let us check in early (our room was ready) several hours before 2pm, which was fantastic since we were coming from a 13 hour flight. The ability to shower and nap really made our day! And allowed us to have an excellent evening after a long travel day.

The room was nice and clean. I loved the location as we went to a concert at Spark Arena which was across road. Just a short walk to the Britomart Market on Saturday morning which was lovely to do. We also walked around the corner to parnell which i loved. Will definitely stay at Imagine Beach Road again.
