2 Night stay for 3
Beautifully, beautifully, clean room, 10/10 to the pleasant, friendly, cleaning staff. Not sure why we had to deal with the consierge as well as the people at the front desk. It was not immediately clear to me, who was who. Suddenly, upon check-out I was told the cost for 2 nights of valet parking was now $100 instead of the $80 it was at check-in and in the email communications I had received since I booked the accomodation, 2 months prior. Bad manners I thought. (but I paid it of course). One of the night duty staff were not able to sort an issue with the coffee machine in our room other than to say he thought it was faulty. He tried but couldn’t find a replacement. He apologised but still left the faulty machine in the room. At check-out I let the front desk staff know. The water from the shower flows out under the shower door even with the bath mat there, onto the tiles. One needs to take care not to slip over. It may be an idea to put in some type of stopper/grid cover in the bathroom basin to avoid anything falling down drain. (Just a suggestion).

Hotel disappointing
Hotel disappointing, would have thought hotel of this price, over $350 with breakfast and car parking, could at least supply good coffee in room, not just instant. One of reasons for choosing this hotel was the restaurants which on arrival find one closed for refurbishment and the other not serving dinner although there was food available in lounge bar, none of this mentioned when booking. My wife and I attended show and arrived back at hotel about 5 to 10 to find no food available in hotel, restaurant closed and no room service available. Seems like more attention given to the great art works in hotel than clientele. Plus was staff great and breakfast good. Would not stay here again

Beautiful works of art throughout the property. Pool, sauna, and hot tub were very nice. My only negative is no proper sitting area in the room. There was plenty of room for a sofa and coffee table but there was just a metal mesh chair. The chair looked cool but was extremely uncomfortable to sit on.

Old Hotel in Need of an Upgrade
This was a disappointing stay to end our trip in New Zealand. The hotel is in a great location and while the place was understaffed the clearly overworked staff were helpful and kind. The hotel itself has seen better days, though and I expected more from an IHC hotel. Tiles were falling off in the pool. The mattresses in our room were saggy and the bathroom ceiling had water stains and mold. The bathroom especially was basically unusable given its layout. Overall I wouldn’t stay here again until some serious renovations were made.

Room type that was booked was not available, the solution provided did not meet our requirements nor was it of an equivalent standard to what we paid for. Issue with booking was not acknowledged at check in, we had to find out after walking into the room. Message to manager went unanswered. We have visited this property for business requirements many times over the years and this was our first family visit. Overall very disappointed with the standard these days and the general lack of attention to customers.

Great room layout amd location for our stay w 2 adults, 2 children. Really interestingly property decor, and breakfast a la carte also delicious. Service was great, only main thing for us was no options for childrens tv/movies etc or casting to have movie night in which we'd planned. Bathroom space and bath were great, but shower design meant quite a bit of excess water regularly.

I loved the ease of everything at the hotel. The people were friendly and responsive, the facilities exactly as described and so convenient. I thought the apartment furnishings were a little utilitarian rather than luxurious, but having said that, everything we could require was available in the kitchen and we were very comfortable.
