We stayed two nights, the room was very nice and came with a large bathroom, separate bedroom, full kitchen with an area to watch tv. Check in is on the 1st floor, there is no dedicated hotel area on the street so it can be a different to find. Parking is available but depends on the height of the vehicle but there is public parking just around the corner which was about $35 NZD for overnight. The hotel is walking distance to the Octagon where there are lots of choices for food. There is no laundry on site but the hotel does offer laundry service, $30 NZD for as much as you can fit in a small basket.

Very quiet, large room. Comfy bed, especially the sheets. Location is great, but parking is tight; entrance was hard to find. Front desk was extremely helpful - gave me a clog to clean my windshield; recommended Moeraki boulders en route to Christchurch. They are amazing. Thanks so much.
