Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Good choice to save some money but still be within reach of everything in Wellington CBD. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Laundry facilities on site were great. Balcony views over the water were lovely but the road is very busy and noisy (noise did not travel inside with the doors closed). Room was large with good facilities. Bathroom floors were quite slippery when wet. No lift and it can be a long walk if you are at the end of the hall so keep in mind if you have heavy bags or mobility issues.

We stayed one night after coming across on the ferry. The room was fine with all modern features and a nice view of the harbor. Bed mattress could use upgrading to pillow top style. This property is on a moderately steep hill so the flat parking areas are limited on the property. The rooms are also on different levels on the hill accessed by stairs. Access to rooms might be a challenge for the elderly
