Pros- Speedy check in and easy check out, room was clean and tidy, free parking on site, fan in room, amenities given, commitment as per booking Cons- (not the fault of the inn but caused us no sleep on the first night) Druggies who kept trying to poach us and our car. Our bathroom door was broken (we did not inform anyone during our stay). The safety aspect kept me on tenterhooks during the stay but I cannot fault the room, cleaning or service.

The room smelt like mutton fat as soon as we walked in. The room was tidy but because of the smell it felt dirty. Some stronger scented cleaning chemicals needed or something to deoderise the room would make a huge difference.

Good location close to the centre of New Plymouth, the museum and Coastal walk. Facilities are rather dated. Basic but adequate kitchen. Shower was way too strong and the water pressure couldn't be controlled.
