Great facilities they think of everything. Plus plenty of nice towels offered and the best shower set up - and best one think I’ve ever had. Great pressure, amazing. The staff who are so attentive. Great to have guest laundry too. Would be nice to have a little hand held vacuum for the carpet crumbs/hair etc and a coat rack near door. I loved this place and views across the harbour wonderful. From comfy lazy-boy recliners.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Good choice to save some money but still be within reach of everything in Wellington CBD. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Laundry facilities on site were great. Balcony views over the water were lovely but the road is very busy and noisy (noise did not travel inside with the doors closed). Room was large with good facilities. Bathroom floors were quite slippery when wet. No lift and it can be a long walk if you are at the end of the hall so keep in mind if you have heavy bags or mobility issues.
