I stayed at 12 hotels while in New Zealand and this was the worst. If you are looking for half the amenities at twice the price then you will love this place.
Everything points to GREEDY BAD management. I'm wondering if the positive reviews are fake. A note from the cleaner and a useless notebook doesn't even come close to making up for what is lacking.
Where to start...
-only a double bed and not even comfy!
-just one small mirror! every other place provided a full length mirror
-terrible lighting - the choice is bright and glaring or pitch dark; there is no in between and no bedside lamp either! what kind of hotel doesn't have a bedside lamp?!
-only a few channels on the TV compared to every other place
-only a blind on the windows so again it's all or nothing; would it hurt to provide sheer curtains as other places do so that there is a middle option between black out/can't see anything and on full display to the parking lot?
-no kitchenette, yet other places provide a full kitchen for far less money
-massive pillows that only a giant could use, meaning I had no pillow
-be prepared to park 2 blocks away
-slippery shower floor
-poor water pressure
-no freezer compartment in fridge
-the bathroom light is the same switch as the SUPER LOUD THROBBING FAN, so you can either be in the pitch dark, or listening to it roar around you
-staff seem stressed and no wonder
After all the wonderful places I stayed for much less, this was a huge disappointment. Stay somewhere else!
