Our room was spaciuos and comfortable. The locatiom was excellent, on the doorstop to shops, restaurants, the art deco trust and the sea front. Hiwever it was very stressful checking in. We had not completed this online (i received instructions how only 10 minutes beforehand). There was no help on where to park, which rules are quite confusing. The rooms are not serviced unless you can pay $50 a day extra. On the plus side, there is a laundry where you can dry wet tiwels. There is also an outside seating area.

Greeted with a lengthy text message with instructions on how to gain entry to the hotel room. Not onsite parking - additional charge of $20 a day that was half a kilometer away from the hotel. Booked a 3 night stay and wondered if our beds would be made each morning and clean towels/ milk etc only to find out that was an additional $50 charge for this basic customer service. Bit disappointed TBH. Never saw one staff memeber for 4 days.

10/10 Stayed in Pacific Room 2. A stunning apartment with ocean views. The separate bedroom is larger than most hotel rooms. A small but functional kitchen if you want to have home-made meals, but the apartment is also located just minutes away from multiple excellent restaurants and cafes. Also very close to the main retail shopping area. One of the best stays I have had on my travels in New Zealand. Highly recommended.

Staying at The Dome Is a unique experience. It’s not a hotel but more like an art deco apartment, ample space, well equipped kitchen and wonderfully clean. Things to note, there’s no parking so you need to park along the street which is $1 an hour for max 2 hours so affordable, there’s room service or housekeeping and no swimming pool and beach is not really swimmable so kids maybe a bit disappointed. However, location with many restaurant options and views are great.
