Had to wait a while to check in as no one was manning the desk. Perhaps a bell or something so guests can atttract staffs attention. It was disappointing to have been allocated a disabled room considering we booked well in advance. If you were disabled the bathroom is dangerous once you have used the shower. Again like a lot of hotels in NZ there are no usb sockets and no dressing table for the ladies to use when doing their make up etc.
