I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with great bathroom products by Matakana. The staff made us feel very welcome and even provided a chair for my elderly mother to use in the shower. The location was convenient, within walking distance of nice restaurants. The dining experience was pleasant with a continental breakfast delivered to the room. Overall, a great value for money option with some minor drawbacks like traffic noise.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel with its panoramic views across the harbor. The rooms were spacious, clean, and conveniently located close to town and amenities. I appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of the room, as well as the thoughtful tea, coffee, and milk supply provided. The large bed, additional singles, table and chairs, and kitchen unit made the room even more convenient.
