Liked: Cleanliness
I didn't like how my shower was temperamental and would change from hot to cold in a second. I didn't like how I requested to check in earlier online and was told on arrival at 10am that I had to wait until 2pm or try again at 1pm to get to room.

Meh, hotel seems fine but I think we got the worst room in the hotel. Only a tiny window looking out on shutters blocking the glorious view of the burger joint next door. Room was so small that there were no chairs other than one small desk chair. Heater was rather “creaky”. Given that we were staying in winter and the hotel seemed pretty empty, one of old think they might have upgraded us to one of the many empty rooms with a sea view. Oh, also the only hotel we’re stayed at in NZ that did not provide fresh milk for coffee (only little plastic creamers).
