Overall, great hotel. Perfect location, friendly staff, upgraded me from a studio to a one bedroom. Downside, breakfast was overpriced at $30 NZ, frig in room barely got cold, the rooms seem to be clustered around a bank of three very noisy elevators. My room was next to the elevators which made it hard to sleep and relax.
