The rooms decor or look and feel could do with an upgrade. Maybe a bit of colour or new fresh look for the room. The ironing board could do with a new cover, the bathroom amenties should be provided enough for the amount of people checking in the room. That is three people, sharing what has been provided which is enough for one person. Thank you to the receptionist that did my laminating for me, very much appreciated :)

The rooms were okay, but can be quite noisy with doors etc. In this survey it asked about the free breakfast which is not free as you have to pay.

Breakfast was excellent, scrambled eggs cooked to perfection not rubbery, hash browns crispy, bacon not over cooked, bake beans, mushrooms tasty. All this plus continental breakfast and juice, coffee and tea. Staff really friendly and customer focused. Our plane couldn't land in Invercargill so we returned to Auckland and could rebook another flight until two days later. The hotel were so understanding and made a note that we were unable to stay for two nights. Because we booked online we had to go back to Expedia who just call the hotel confirmed that we were not book in yet and within 2 hours we received refund for 2 days. Loved our stay and would highly recommend this hotel.
