Quiet comfy rooms. friendly reception staff. Great size room for a family of 5. Didn’t appreciate the knock on the door at 8:45am asking could we leave as they needed to clean the room (check out was 10am).

we booked in at short notice. The hotel staff where very accomodating and welcoming and also gave us an upgrade which was unexpected but very appreciated. The room was clean, tidy, warm and well presented. Would recommend. Thank you
Kim, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

When we first enterd block 1, we could smell a strong scent of toilet spray and marijuana. We alerted management and they immediately investigated and decided to move us to another block which was awesome. We were told those people had been there for a week, and that it was unlikely they would stop the behaviour, whilst its not an emergency housing provider, it was evident there are ways WINZ goes about housing people without catergorising people under emergency housing. However, overall the hotel was beautiful, quiet and peaceful. The staff were awesome. It was clean and tidy, free wifi, the room was beautiful and there was a modern tv. We would drfinitely stay there again! Great location, right next to waterworld and down the road from the base.

Very comfortable

Staff were very helpful, the room was a good size but perhaps a little dated and a microwave in the room would have been useful. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of parking.
