Good position near city center but the property was very tired. No restaurant and the room service meals were similar to meals bought from a supermarket freezer. Would not stay there again.

The Hotel and rooms are run down and uninviting. Peeling wallpaper, chipped paint, dated interior. The walls are paper thin so we were kept awake by our neighbor coughing, urinating and snoring throughout the entire night. Then at 8am sharp, construction began above our ceiling. Hammering, sanding and sawing. This was the last straw in a hellish stay. We won't be back or recommending anyone to stay here.

We didnt like the very tight car parking. And the slippery slope drive way going down to the city. Theres water running down it. And its constantly wet. Very dangerous when frosty. But loved the stay in the complex. And will come back.

Very noisy, with people able to walk through the carparks, yelling, screaming,swearing late at night early morning, very close to Ambulance service with sirens.Would definitely look for somewhere more peaceful. No restaurant onsite for evening dining, there is a very limited in house menu with very few choices.

Friendly staff. Comfortable beds and a warn, clean room. Breakfast was included and it had excellent options, including a separate toaster for gluten-free needs. Thr hotel is close to the centre and was in a quiet area. The building is quite tired as a lot of nz hotels seem to be.
