Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The onsite parking was super convenient, and we were able to walk to a variety of restaurants, shops, the Waikato Museum, and the Waikato riverwalk directly from the hotel. The staff were all helpful and kind. We didn't use the pool because we visited during the winter, but it looked like a great spot for warmer weather. The only downside for us was the volume of traffic into the night, as our room faced the Victoria Street intersection.

Overall a good hotel, but we could not get the air conditioning to work, it seemed to be pumping air into the bathroom, but I couldn't get it to warm the room. Bathroom plug was not working and I had to manually insert and remove it. Breakfast was very good, so kind of made up for the small inconveniences already mentioned. Overall a good place to stay.
