Good hotel , great services

房間落地窗面對海灣遊艇,漂亮.設施還好.標準.服務標準.

I found the bed and pillows comfortable, the room was clean, I actually like the cakes of soap instead of the bottles in the shower. The staff were very friendly. Just wish they had salt and pepper in the room! Best seafood chowder Ive had in a very long time and was a reasonable price too, yum

Outstanding in every way - staff, cleanliness, breakfast, service. The staff made one feel that nothing was too much trouble. This includes all staff - receptionists, bar staff, cleaners. I will certainly return. The manager needs to be congratulated on the training and service . Keep up the great work. You should be proud

Hotel has invested & upgraded however not in the public areas where carpet looks distinctly tired. The rooms has new carpet, a huge round mirror and bespoke fittings however the bathroom still has the old tiles and 1980s 45° plastic shower which feels very claustrophobic. No liquid soap & soap cakes are supplied. Complimentary tea & instant coffee but a very bare fridge except for UHT milk pods. TV has usual freeview stations including ABC (Aussie), French TV & DW (German) but no Sky channels. Unfortunately the entry door has 1 inch gap underdoor which allows a lot of noise to intrude. Also no smoke seals or auto closer (non complying under current NZ Building Code but probably OK as built before NZ Building Act 1992 came into force). Party walls also allow a lot of inter-room noise (we left the bathroom fan on to provide some background masking). Aircon/heating is provided by a domestic looking & yellowing hi-bay heat pump which didnt try. Breakfast was standard fare with bacon, scrambled eggs, sausages, cereals, raw juice etc. Espresso is available on request but extra cost eg. $6 for Latte. Plenty of carparking and convenient walking distance to Town Basin. Concluding, hotel is slowly upgrading but still a lot to do - 3.5 stars
