The room was good but not at the level I expect from 4 star hotel. Check in was off putting and we ended up on different floors despite booking together. Good location and ability to access lambton quay by lift was really helpful.

Room is outdated for a 4 star hotel. Staff is super friendly and helpful We did not use the amenities. We were upset with the equipment provided in the room. We used the Iron, but, with its old age, the heating settings were not clear, and my wife ended up burning my daughter clothes just prior to an important event to attend. We had to rush in and buy another clothing that cost around $300.

Room was fine. Not enough towels for a family of four but rectified by staff. Talking about them, very helpful and pleasant to deal with. Especially the young lady on evening shifts. Nice breakfast. Somewhat central setting once you get your bearings... Fantastic city. Awesome country.
