We ordered from the breakfast menu and found that our meals to be excellent. The staff person at the front desk went out of their way to help us adjust our planned activities for the next day. She may have been the most helpful person we have ever dealt with in a hotel. A real gem of a lady.

We did not use restaurant. The room was ideal with the lounge/ dining/ kitchen space as we were a family group with toddler and could get together without all sitting on the bed! Luggage drop no issue with friendly staff. Swimming pool and small gym also available. Location was great. Access to railway station for Northern Explorer/ free bus from Interislander ferry within a very short walk.(2 sets pedestrian lights on level ground)Wellington City Centre / Waterfront/Museums all walkable access on the doorstep.

The bed was so comfortable and the pillows were just amazing to sleep on. They have a king pillow that's big enough to be a bolster and they were so comfy to hug. Besides the comfort of the room, the location is very good. Highly recommend!
