Hotel from hell
The advert is all lies. There was no wifi. No kid friendly area. No climate controlled heating. No cleanliness. Its above an R18 casino bar with live music all night. The heating consists of a 4 fin oil heater. The shower hadnt been cleaned. And my kids found vaping device's and used covid tests under the bed.

Worst hotel ever
Do not stay here if you're planning on checking in late. I called the hotel a dozen times, no answer. I left them a message, emailed them, and contacted hotels.com and was unable to get late check in instructions despite the fact they say to contact them if you're going to check in late. I slept in the back of a Toyota Carolla because Harry Styles had the upper half of the north island entirely booked by the time I arrived and hotels.com gave me a measly $50 credit.

4/10 Fair

This property is really a hostel above the busiest bar and gaming parlour in town. Room shaking music each night and the shared bathroom was dirty the whole time. Rooms were very cramped. The only upside was the proximity to the bus stop
