Great location, awesome parking, very friendly and responsive staff. Some lights in our room didn't go. We were offered another room. Just a bit tired looking.

The room and bed are always 'spot on' very comfortable, great range of programmes on TV including movies. Staff are lovely. I stay in the smaller rooms, the bathrooms are tiny and a bit old fashioned - but I spend only 10 mins in there - I always rebook when I have to stay in CBD for work. Parking is great, location is excellent

This is a perfect location if you wish to visit Te Papa and Wellington waterfront. Plus Courtenay Place and access to restaurants and cafes is right on the door step. Not 5 star but convenience makes up for it. Will definitely be back again and again.
