Homegrown Weekend

I shouted a friend a weekend adventure for the Homegrown concert. The hotel is in the perfect location! It is an easy walk to shops, bars, restaurants and the waterfront where all the fun is. I managed to get a car park at the hotel which was great. We didn't need much for our stay, just beds and a bathroom, so were very happy with our little two bed room.

For a quick night stay

Location is close to restaurants and other iconic places in the city. However, the place is not very roomy and the facilities are limited. There is charge for guaranteed parking. Stairs and no lift, no ironing board. Perhaps could be alright for a very short stay.

Good for spending the night.

Location is excellent. Walking distance from most places. Bed was very comfortable and shower pressure good. WiFi was fast. I didn't drive in so no idea about parking. If your looking for a place to sleep it's great. Anything more the room would be too small. Perfect for what I was looking for.

Good for a visit in Wellington

Just stayed here’s for new night. Perfectly good however it was a warm day and so we had an uncomfortable nights sleep. No air con, a small fan was supplied but didn’t make a difference unfortunately. Description should state parking situation. Only about 4 free spaces and then you have to pay for onsite parking. Good location to get all around town. Very helpful man in reception

The motel is close to the CBD and was clean but it is not flash. I used it because Wellington was full. It is OK to sleep, if on a budget or cannot find the next level.

The room was really nice, was what it showed in pictures. The location was perfect. Clean and spacious. Only recommendations would be a stop for the wheels on the extra bed, scissors in the kitchen and recycling for all our plastic bottles.

Smelly room

The room I stayed in was ... in the old part of the building complex, does not have any sun coming through at all and was smelly with mold. The windows dirty with broken handles ...paint is peeing of the sealing... The lining and the bed was good, but the room definitely could do with a spring clean and some repairs.
