Room was clean and modern. Nice bathroom. My only complaint is the restaurants close early, even though they state late. Late in New Zealand is 10pm. Don't expect to get food past that besides room service.

Because of the security problem my wife felt unsafe, we didn’t stay, and checked out at 9:30pm. Very very disappointing. More disappointing was the lack of communication from management, and the lack of understanding.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was nicely appointed, a good bed, nice bathroom, and cleanliness was to a high standard. Overall a nice hotel with good in-house dining options, and the Expedia Silver reward was definitely a good bonus. Close to main City activities and good for a business trip. There was only two small things: firstly with current works on the lifts it does mean you wait a while to get up and down, but nothing major. The second was my room had an adjoining room door, and whilst securely locked with a key, it did mean I could hear the children in the next room sometimes. Again not major, but would recommend avoiding rooms with adjoining doors.
