Clean and comfortable but getting tired. Room was dark, needed more lighting particularly when trying to work at the desk. Secure, dry parking. Easy walk into the CBD where you will find lots of eating places and entertainment.

Very friendly and efficent staff, both at checkin and check out. Recently renovated room, very comfortable and quiet, nicely furnished. The only negatives I had were very minor. The spa pool was still being renovated and was closed. I slso prefer the Sky channels to the free ones in NZ, which wern't offered. The TV set however was fairly large and modern and logging on to streaming apps or chromecast with my credentials was very easy and that is what I did. Long story short, nice motel and very happy to recommend.

Clean & tidy. Staff were courteous and helpful when I rang to request a foldaway bed as an extra for the room. Check in / Check out was fast and easy. Hotel was a good walkable distance to Esplanade Park, supermarket & Plaza mall. No update on webite/booking sites to indicate spa pool not available & swimming pool water was very milky & cloudy. You would not see a child at the bottom of the pool in that water. The water definitely needs attention, and we would have enjoyed swimming in a clean & clear water pool. Noticed there were no signs indicating the depth of the pool and the area is visible to anyone attending an appointment at the hairdressers which backs onto the pool area. Buffet breakfast was not an option, so we had to order our cooked food ... still paid the buffet price which was disappointing. Otherwise, it was a nice stay.
