The staff were amazing very friendly and great service
Unfortunately the room did not look anything like the photos. There was a disgusting stained blind, mould in bathroom and on the sprinkler. It was an old room it was clean but old and in much need of a re vamp. The room we were in was by the road so was very noisy. and some works were happening on the night drilling and banging.(not the hotels fault). Unfortunately would not stay again.
Security and safety and close to the hospital was paramount for us.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Had to wait 4 rooms to be made up ready.
Should be able to judge by bookings and have enough staff to turn the rooms around.
Staff struggling to manage all people booking in at reception.
Positive: Spacious room, bathtub, clean, price
To improve: provide shampoo, better lighting,
warmer bedding, heater either more effective or with a timer.
Very outdated - ok for a night but room really needs updating

OK for the price
Hotel is fairly old - needs a renovation but has an earthquake prone notice on front door - it was fine for the price.
