Tired old lady in a great location

Good location close to the centre of Takapuna, and a short walk to the beach. Our room was pleasant, with views over the lake and ocean, but there were some unwanted curry smells around. The shower went crazy and soaked everything in the bathroom. Public areas need some major upgrades - wooden floors in the foyer were in poor repair and there was a lot of old wooden furniture in the bar that made it feel 1970;s - disappointing that the bar closed at 10pm on a Friday night. Wifi was terrible.

Really average, wouldn’t stay again.

Check in was fine, staff friendly. The room very basic and tired. Most annoying was the private apartment had next door had an old can rolling around the balcony very noisily in the wind (it had been used as an alternative to a pipe) I was with my children and not thrilled about the neighbours getting high next door. They offered to move us which was great. The pool area is also very tired with a lot of broken furniture, there is no restaurant. The rooms weren’t super clean with mould and hair in the bathroom. The reviews on this place were far too generous, if you’re looking at this price point I’d definitely recommend another place (almost any other place would be better)
