Hotel was alright though didn’t feel like a 5 star hotel. Sauna was not on which was a main factor of booking this hotel. Staff and facilities were otherwise okay.

The staff were great, but the room was noisy overnight, with what sounded like people trying to enter the rooms. There was someone else’s lip balm left in the bathroom. Just little things that would have made it a better stay.

Tidy hotel close to convention centre
A handy location close to the Te Pae convention centre. The hotel is fine and clean with a mix of permanent apartment residents and guest rooms. The room was well appointed and tidy if small, and the bathroom was good. The breakfast facilities leave quite a lot wanting. I would not recommend the continental breakfast at all.
