Good location. The hygiene situation is very average. There were blood stains on our pillows that hadn't been washed off, and there were also blood stains on the outside of the washbasin in the bathroom. The bathroom stuff is relatively basic, not quite like it will only open in 2023

I read very mixed views about this property. Im pleased to say we had no issues and enjoyed our stay. Rooms were refreshed and modern, clean and tidy. We even enjoyed a lazy massage in the chairs at reception.

Worse hotel ever in New Zealand
The hotel was terrible. We had problems checking in as they did not have any records of our checkin. We have to come back to the hotel after our meals and we had to drive to and fro. The bed is like a jigsaw puzzle and it is too soft. There is basically no make up of rooms. We asked for make up of rooms but the bed is undone, there is no replacement of towers and worse of all, they replace wrongly the shampoo with bathing liquids.

Great location
Place was really clean and tidy. Staff were helpful, but didn’t seem sure about where things were eg towels. Parking was also an issue at nighttime. Restaurant seemed closed too. Overall a good stay, comfortable and clean Easy walkable distance to the skyline too! 15 min drive to every location you would want to go

Put your PHONE DOWN and get your EYES OFF the computer to welcome people and just ask guests if they are ok as they walk past your desk. The main front door was locked for a period of time leaving two of us waiting outside. It put the person at reception out when I asked if the food I paid for from the restaurant could be brought up to my room. Where is your manaakitanga (hospitality)? This was my 4th stay and sadly; I won't be going back :(
