Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The Art Deco Masonic Hotel was beautiful, and the staff were quite helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed the style and historic feeling while staying there. The room was extremely clean as well - definitely better than other hotels we've stayed in recently. Its location is ideal for walking anywhere in Napier, and the hotel parking situation was pretty convenient (2-3 min walk a couple blocks over). You'll have no problem getting to restaurants, art galleries, the National Aquarium, the Faraday Museum, and the oceanfront from here. We would stay here again in the future.
