Excellent stay for one night

This was a last minute booking for us as we had to change a date. We've been in NZ for thirty days and this is the only large hotel we've stayed in. The bedroom was spotlessly clean, shower great, bed comfy but what was great was the fact that there was a washing machine and tumble drier in the ensuite!! We had breakfast included too which was a nice treat but the coffee choice was poor. Oh and I loved the thick towels in the room. Great location too.

The option of booking a King Suite with a washer dryer in your room is a huge bonus when you are traveling and have been on the road for almost two weeks. All other services were great and the staff were extremely friendly!
