here as a layover for the Cook Strait ferry. The concierge was polite and friendly even though we only arrived at 11pm. The front hallway was ok, but upstairs a bit rough. The rooms were clean and functional, but also a bit tired. Beds were comfortable enough, and rooms were warm.

The worst experience and the staff including the night manager was so rude. Not will to assist as their booking included on site carpark for additional cost but they don't update their systems when the parking is full. Very disappointed and the staff need professional training on how to have customer service.

Don't get trick by the pictures, they are way better than what you'll get ! There was black mold on the windows and in the bathroom. In the room the smell was terrible, that's the first time I had to buy spray to cover an hotel room smell ! Some big stains on the carpet by the bed I don't even want to know what was it from. Only the bed stuff and towels were clean (on the surface). The walls are so thin we could follow the conversation of the people waiting for the elevator. Finally when we booked the room we received an email to book the parking, the link didn't work, I called to book but it was full, when we arrived they asked if we wanted to book a spot, we asked if it wasn't already full, for them to confirm it was full !

Comfortable affordable stay - rooms were very basic and dated - mould on the exterior windows and the carpet down the hallways could definetely do with replacing it was a bit of a tripping hazard. However given what we paid to stay there, you get what to pay for and it was perfect for our needs which was a clean tidy room to spend a couple of nights. Close to city not a far walk at all so good location.

Last time i came here couple of years ago you had breakfast laid on,not this time obviously. Bit of a walk to Wellingtons cafes from here. There was no air con, my room 502 was pretty damn hot over the weekend. I noticed there was a sky remote also but no actual sky service installed so kind of pointless have these remotes in the room. As i see it the corridors and the rooms need a makeover,its all looking pretty tired.
