Room was clean and fine for our one night visit to Whanganui. Reception unavailability on telephone for lost item was a nuisance. Calling and leaving numerous messages within the "office hours" was frustrating.

Loved the room. Shower was great. Towels were big and fluffy. However, there was a fire in the restaurant and had not been rebuilt as of yet. There was plenty of Clubs, restaurants and stores within walking distance. There was also a bus stop right outside. Overall, I was very pleased with my stay.

Good rate for short stays
Very spacious renovated room. King bed comfortable. Plenty of parking spaces. Hotel lobby and corridor a bit dated but the reasonable room rate compensates for it. Close to supermarkets and gas stations.

The cleaners are super lovely. The reception not as lovely. The showers need a good proper clean, as they look like there’s another species growing on them. And the walls need some dusting/ cleaning.
