Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located, offering easy access from the airport and closeness to the CBD. The rooms, though had a bad smell on a hot day, provided separate toilet and shower facilities. The service I received was a bit lacking in addressing issues, but the location was great with proximity to key amenities despite needing more heat. The dining options were satisfactory and the facilities met basic expectations.
I was pleasantly surprised by the peaceful setting of the hotel, shielded from road noise, albeit with some dustiness in the air. The room was spacious and the bathroom was of a good size, offering a comfortable stay. The staff were exceptionally nice and helpful, making our group feel welcome and catering to our needs perfectly. The hotel's prime location near shopping areas, dining spots, and essential establishments made our stay extremely convenient. The dining options across the street provided a lovely continental breakfast at a reasonable price, enhancing our overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms, although in need of updating, were clean and comfortable. The location was convenient, being only a 20-minute walk from Te Pae Convention Centre in the CBD. However, the service left something to be desired with some unavailability and unhelpful interactions. The dining experience across the road at the Tudor Motel restaurant was enjoyable. The facilities were satisfactory, but not exceptional.
The hotel is conveniently located offering easy access from the airport and close proximity to the CBD. However, the rooms are cramped and badly in need of refurbishment. The service was lacking and left us feeling hassled, particularly during check-in. The location, although dull-looking, is great and accessible to various amenities. The dining experience was satisfactory but could be improved. Overall, the facilities were average.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were warm and spacious, perfect for our needs, but they could definitely use some updating, especially the bathroom. Despite being a bit dated, the rooms were reasonably quiet even with a high school sports team nearby. The motel staff were new, eager to please, and provided valuable local advice, though communication was a bit of a challenge at times. The location was superb, offering easy access to various amenities and attractions, including the hospital and dining options. Dining at the Tudor Motel restaurant across the street was a highlight with a great breakfast selection. Overall, a good choice for the price.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and had everything we needed for our two-day stay, but they were old and needed a touch-up. The room had an energy-saving light bulb, which is great for cutting costs, but the wall fan heater only took the edge off due to a low thermostat setting.
The hotel room was dated but clean, comfortable, and ideal for our family of 4 adults and 2 kids. It definitely accommodated our needs, although it could do with freshening up, especially the bathroom. The room was comfy, clean, and had everything we needed for our one-night stay.
The hotel is conveniently located near Merivale Mall and offers helpful service from friendly staff. While some issues with room temperature and TV channels were present, the initial coldness was quickly addressed. The dining experience at the Tudor Motel restaurant across the road was delightful, especially the affordable continental breakfast. However, basic toiletries were limited, and the need for room updates was noticeable.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and had all that we needed for our short stay, although they felt a bit dark and dingy due to the lack of curtains. The service was welcoming and accommodating, with the staff even turning on the heater for us before our arrival. The location was convenient, allowing easy access to various amenities, but the lack of air conditioning on a hot day was a downside. The dining experience was lovely, with a beautiful continental breakfast selection available at a nearby restaurant. While the facilities were sufficient, the absence of some modern amenities was noticeable.
I found the hotel to have pretty well-equipped and clean rooms with a comfortable setup, including tables, chairs, plates, and cutlery. However, the rooms are showing their age and could benefit from a complete renovation. The service was a mix of super friendly staff but with some issues like dirty seat cushion covers and incomplete window pegs. The location was a fantastic mix of convenience, being close to shopping areas and dining options, but could be tricky to access during heavy traffic. The dining experience offered a lovely continental breakfast choice at a nearby restaurant, and the facilities were adequate but nothing extraordinary.
