Squeeky door needed oiling. Woke me up through the night for 3 nights straight. I asked if it could be oiled/CRC'd on day 1. Reception said they had some in the back and would get to it. They did not.

Attention to Detail Arawa Park

We have stayed at this hotel before, so knew it would suit our requirements for an overnight stay. The place is rather old fashioned, but has large comfortable warm rooms, great shower and bed. Would stay here again. The only thing we did notice is the dirty meal tray/plates that were never cleared away, that had been left in the corridors outside rooms of previous occupiers, not a good look.

Find Better Alternatives

I feel this property isn't well-maintained. Bathrooms don't feel clean and the room we got, which faced the park/parking lot, didn't have a good window insulation. That meant that air entered the room through the old windows, and the A/C didn't work half of the time, and the heater in the room was turned on. The bed felt more like a double than a queen size but regardless, my back hurt after sleeping one night. By comparison, Hana Lodge is top-notch and not that much more expensive.
