If nothing else this hotel is fine but I would look around first.

Great location. Hotel a tad tired they could do with investing in new pillows etc as quality lacking. Breakfast choices great; however staff in breakfast room need training as no thought given on any morning to ensuring things were clean/tidy ie not returning to kitchen without something in their hands. Made breakfast area a tad unkept. Considering hotel competition in area I would stay elsewhere next time.
Emma in the bar was just terrific. Great personality and friendly.

Hi - thanks for placing a review on this site also. As mentioned on the other review site, we appreciate your feedback. I am so sorry we let you down with the breakfast service area - very disappointing. Your constructive feedback will be taken on board though, much appreciated. And your glowing feedback has been passed along to Emma.

We only stayed here for one short night and because the room was so charmless, that’s about as long as I would have wanted to. But it was clean, had a nice coffee & tea corner, and free parking. Every staff member we encountered was pleasant & helpful.

Very nice hotel. Customer service was excellent. We had to leave earlier than they served breakfast. We asked for some cereal for the room in the morning. They made up a wonderful bowl of yogurt with 4 fresh fruits in addition to the granola cereal and milk.
We would definitely stay there again.

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed with genuine warmth. All the staff went out of their way to be helpful, suggesting all sorts of useful and helpful information. Anything we needed was provided promptly with at uniquely relaxed Kiwi friendliness.

Room tip: If you want to use the sauna ask for it to be turned on ahead, and be sure to book your slot.

Spartan room that was clean but very basic. We wanted to use the swimming pool but it was so filthy it appeared polluted and no one would go for a swim. The front desk reception was efficient and pleasant. The restaurant was basic with a somewhat limited menu.
This property was expensive and not worth the price.

Greetings
Thank you for your feedback, although my apologies that some aspects were not to your satisfaction. The swimming pool is treated daily and cleaned regularly and being enjoyed by many of our guests, so your comments about the pool are of surprise. We do have the pool booked for a repaint this year, so perhaps that affected your opinion of it.
Nonetheless, I am sorry we missed the mark there for you.
Kind regards
Carmel Horsley, General Manager.

Stayed here on the last 3 days of our South Island holiday. . Given that this is a chain hotel , we found it to be a step above other chain hotels we have stayed in in the past. Scenic hotel is clean, the bed super comfortable and all the staff were very helpful and always had a smile . Having a restaurant on site was a real bonus and it a very short flat walk into town Will stay again
