Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Uncomfortable bed (subjective). Noisy. Run down. Check-out time is 10 am, but the cleaner decided to help herself and entered my room at 8:30 am unannounced. Says she knocked and she may have, but I didn't hear it and it makes no difference either way. I had not checked out and she was ABSOLUTELY NOT PERMITTED to enter my room. There is NO EXCUSE! Reception thought it was funny and said "its not our fault". Disgusting hotel.

The location is next to the 24hour convenience store, and on the main road, walking distance to the Invercargill Center, Woolworths and Pak'N'Save. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room got cleaned everyday.

We were advised we had been upgraded to a larger unit which was ideal for our family situation. The heating was on so the unit was so cosy. The owners went the extra mile by placing cardboard on our car window to prevent the frost taking hold overnight. What great service and very thoughtful.
