Friendly staff in reception. Warm, clean room. Had a very short overnight stay. Did not use shower. Used microwave briefly. Comfortable bed. Could not work out how to find TVNZ channels. Cap was missing on one side of toilet roll holder & forgot to alert staff on checkout. Our unit overlooked Memorial Drive & passing cars headlights were visible even though curtains were closed.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Horrendously uncomfortable bed. Woke up with terrible back pain. The bed springs can be felt when lying on it. The windows were so thin you could hear all the cars passing by. The front desk staff was also rude. I wish I had paid for the Novotel instead. It would’ve been well worth it.
