The hotel was nice and there were some nice places to eat around it. I wasn’t overally impressed with the lady at the reception desk when we checked in and the hotel wasn’t busy and the room they gave us was looking out to scaffolding. For a suite that was crap. No complimentary bottled water available, the shower was broken and no breakfast included. Again, for a suite, very poor. The room was not cheap either. Wouldn’t go back.

Good Morning Hayley,Many thanks for your review, I'm sorry to hear that the Classic Suite wasn't to your liking. Our Classic Suites have a variety of outlooks, from the Thorndon Hills to city views, while the temporary scaffolding of our neighbours is unfortunatly out of our control, I can see that our team had made their best efforts to get you into a refurbished room. We were alarmed to hear the shower was broken. If you have any further information regarding this it would be much appreciated, rest assured our maintenance team are investigating. Had we been made aware at the time our team are always able to help and could have rectified it at the time. While your recent stay was a room only rate, keep an eye out for our bed and breakfast specials through the year which include our buffet breakfast.Warm regards,Paul
