This hotel is poor. We were assured that dinner would be available and there was no need to book. We were told the dining room was open 18:00 - 21:00. We arrived at 19:30 to find the chef had gone home and there was no food. The room was reasonable, but a lot of traffic noise.

This place was strange. It was a mismash of corridors and rooms. Although the rooms themslves were reasoable the curtains did not exclude the light as they were wafer thin. There was also a window above the door so light came in from the corridor although a curtain was provided. It had a well stocked gym but unfortunally for some... More

Convenient location on the main road but close enough to town. Some of the rooms (but not all) have been done up & are quite pleasant but you need to book one that has been & is away from the road noise which can be bad at night with heavy trucks passing close by. Also has a pleasant bar which... More

The exterior of the hotel was not great, but the room was nice. There was a lot of road noise though, as the hotel is just off the main road. Bathroom was fine, and the room did have a small balcony. The price was too high though, taking into account the quality of the furnishings and it's poor location -... More

We had booked for DBB (common abbreviation for Dinner Bed & Breakfast) and upon receiving cost of NZ$145 accepted and said it was a good price. he booking was confirmed with the comment "it is a bargain'. Upon arriving and... More

I dont normally write reviews on places I stay but felt so strongly about the hidiously overpriced and run down room which I was unfortunate to stay in, that I had to log onto this website. I travel around NZ on a frequent basis with business and am lucky to stay in some of the best hotels and motels to... More

Greeted by a rather rude counter clerk. Indicative of what was to follow. The building must be walked in to believe. My description is to picture shipping containers stacked/arranged up the slope of a hill. Not old containers, though. Spanking new ones. Not all all shabby, just metallic, austere. Although having several floors, there was no elevator. I hate lugging... More

I had a renovated room which was ok, certainly nothing flash, noise fromthe highway was annoying, but location was ok, would be nice to go for a walk across the road and down to the park. The gym was fabulous, and one of the reasons that i stayed. It is able to be used 24 hrs a day, is huge,... More

Great place with Caroline Bay, a gem in the summer just a short walk across the road. Unfortunately this is SH1 and trucks rumble through day and night. Get a room on the rear and its OK! Otherwise good restaurant and bar, and a big gym. A bit further away is the main drag, Stafford St with shops and other... More
