Great central location. Quiet, and only a very short walk to town. Rooms are basic and have all the usual - tv, air con, kettle. They give shampoo and conditioner, but not body wash... only hotel soap, which is hard to rinse off your whole body.nStaff were super friendly and really helpful.nPool and spa were out of order while I was there, and the gym is small with nothing to wipe down machines in between uses, and so hot, as the remote for the air con is missing. There was no air flow in there at all.nGenerally a good base if you need to be in Whangarei for a few days!
Well it has some nostalgic qualities and the upstairs and downstairs are not sound proof but if you like decor that reminds you of the past and feel like home it has that feel. Very good on their cleaning, just a little more effort on the outside of the shower would be good. Comfortable bed and pillows and nice sized tv, great mirror and lighting with the bonus of dry air conditioning, they have all your needs but no microwave or cutlery but they have a breakfast service along with lunch and dinner. I can’t say I can recommend the dinner menu the chef is not quite at the standard needed for the place. It has a separate relaxing and alfresco bar and small gym and pool but its location is great
Lovely one night stay, bed was huge and comfy, check in and out effortless and service was exceptional. The pool and spa was wonderful. Location is amazing. The hotel could use some paint and upgrade and the wifi kept dropping but we found it comfy and satisfying
Love the hotel and still staying in it. However, extremely disappointed with the front desk Manager im assuming saying they couldn't do a cash out of $4 to use their dryer. Had to walk to dairy, buy something and ask for cash to use the hotels dryer. Been an exhausting day of walking, then have to walk more. Disappointed actually. Poor management in my opinion.nPlus side is, the Maori girls at the reception are brilliant. Absolutely brilliant with their customer service and friendliness. Very accommodating and a pay rise is recommended!
Definitely need to upgrade this entire hotel as it is still stuck in the 70’s.nUpon arrival, I had to do a double take as it looks nothing like the online pictures. The exterior is drab, the interior is scuffed all along the wallpaper and the carpet is stained from the hallways into the rooms.nService was ok, 5 minutes after going into my room and finding ants scavenging all over the skirting boards I was given the option to change rooms. However after going into the new room right next door I found ants in there as well so that wasn’t much help.nI didn’t use the restaurant but that looked ancient as well.nThe bathroom looked nothing like the one pictured online and the shower is tiny. I could barely fit in there. Perhaps I’m being too picky but seriously, who doesn’t have a slow closing toilet seat these days?nThe pool is freezing and doesn’t look very clean. I didn’t bother touching the spa but that looked nothing like it does online either.nLocation is excellent, right next to town basin and literally 5mins drive to anything in the ‘city centre’.
