Enjoyed Our Stay

Beautiful room that was spacious. Lovely and clean and we loved the Super King bed. The balcony was big and I loved being able to see the city from outside. Outside chairs were big and comfy. We had the buffet breakfast which had a great variety of items on offer. My only complaint was the noise from other guests in the hallway at night and that the bed rocked around whenever my hubby rolled over. Overall it was a fantastic place to stay with an excellent location.

Nice hotel in central location. Restaurant food is good but limited choice and Insufficient staff so service is slow. Staff try their best in difficult circumstances. Room cleaning has to be chased.

This is in the CBD, so everything was convenient. Wynyard Station is just outside the hotel, and there are plenty of coffee shops and restaurant options nearby. The room was impeccably clean, well-appointed, and well-maintained. I didn’t see any amenities like a gym or pool, which was fine since I wouldn’t have used them anyway. Highly recommend this property to other travelers seeking quality and convenient accommodations.
