A generously sized bathroom with spa bath and separate shower. Sleeping space, lounge and kitchen had microwave, oven etc but a larger bin to separate general rubbish and recyclable would have nice. Still, apart from the traffic noise, no real complaints since the room was a bargain

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Manager operator was very nice and accommodating. She always asked for feedback. Set in a very busy street so road noise was not great. I recommended additional seals on the ranch slider doors as, when locked, it had a gap of about 5mm which would allow for more noise. Space was tidy. Heatpump/aircon in good working order. Bed was too hard for me & my daughter. Close proximity to Hamilton CBD. Plenty of parking. Kitchen pots and pans had protective coating scraped off. No sharp nor cerated knives to slice fresh bread nor tomatoes etc. Suited us for our needs at the time. Don’t expect anything flash.

Nice clean and convenient room. Single pillows on beds made sleeping comfortable impossible. Shower had fantastic pressure. I was unaware of the need to have a $200 bond. This would have been easier if I had a credit card. Apart from this it was a pleasant stay.

I like the location and the room. I found the room was overpriced for the stay. I expect the rate reflected the long weekend and the Rugby Sevens that was up the road. Internet was weak.
