THe location was very close to our family in Shortland. Lovely bed. We didn't enjoy the dark grey walls and black carpet, but I see other rooms are painted a pleasant cream, so wé'll take a cream room next time.

A very comfortable, clean room. Set off the street so it was quiet. Take away menu from the hotel was delicious. Staff were very friendly. We wouldnt hesitate to return on our next stop over.
