Hotel is a bit tired however that was the worst thing we could find. Wholesome breakfast buffet. Staff were exemplary. Epi in houskeeping provided epic service, no request too small and served up with broadest smile. 24 hr Room service did not dissapoint with the beef brisket burger a smashing hit. Access to Lambton Quay via the the lift in the restaurant is a bonus. Wellington Cable Car and a Woolworths literally steps away. Lift stop before ground leads to a Chemist Warehouse. Easy walking to the wharf, Te Papa and the Beehive.
