Service was mediocre. Room service is childish with a doggy bag and while I was assured my car will be in the front waiting for me at 7am I arrived and the car was not there and they told me it would take 15minutes.

1 night stay

Family 1 night stay. Room was as expected, bath had staining in it and shower curtain looking old. For the price of stay no complaints and all as expected. Check in was quicker with manager jumping in to get us into a room early which was much more convenient for us with 2 small kids.

10/10 Exceptional

Exceptional staff at reception - we had 3 different bookings from the same whanau (mum and 2 daughters and their whanau), she was able to arrange us all to be on the same floor which was ideal for the kids and babies as we could easily go from rooms if we needed to do stuff. Great temp for the pool, very good spot went to eat street for dinner. Lovely stay
