Difficulty finding reception, which was on level 2, but not clearly marked when you came into an enmpty lobby, that the "hotel" started at level 2. Reception spoke good english (I think) but with such a thick non-NZ accent that we had great difficulty understanding what she was telling us. Room, bed, breakfast & check out were well managed
