Our second stay. Great location. Easy walk to evening dining on the waterfront. Good amount of space for parking motorcycles without taking up parking spaces or having risk of damage.

The room was okay for what we needed. Only downside was the constant noise of water running , it sounded as if the shower was running all night.

Great to have parking on site - Wellington is dreadful for convenient parking. The food in the restaurant was very very good. The walls seemed to be made of paper as you could hear toilets flushing, running water and often, voices.

Liked: Cleanliness
Functional city centre hotel in good location. Shower curtain awful (needed something heavier or a screen). Reception staff on arrival very helpful and gave good restaurant recommendations but breakfast service (different staff) was poor as was the food (we found a better alternative on the second morning in the museum).
