Do not stay here

We were surprised that our room had no windows. Also most importantly we had very significant damage to our vehicle at the entrance to this car park. We will be lodging a dispute tribunal. The owners of this business did not respond and have had responsibility. Very poor.

The property right in the middle of the city, so you guys can walk to the city center. The staff very friendly and helpful. Only one thing that I would mention, that would be great if the car park is included with the rate

Is hotel with very nice… We stayed in a nest room which we loved. Plenty of space, a full kitchenette, and a nice mix of old and new with an original brick wall. The hotel is centrally located and close to everything. There is very limited parking on site but you can park at the train station which is one block away for 8NZD per day.
