Patricia

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean and well laid out. Had three beds which was great for us but we only had one blanket (stored in closet) as bed was made with very light covers. Shower and toilet in separate rooms was great so multiple people can get their stuff done. Three beds but only one blanket - why? Only other complaint was that the outlet I used, although I turned it on, did not charge my phone overnight - my fault as I should have checked that it was charging.

Breakfast was excellent, scrambled eggs cooked to perfection not rubbery, hash browns crispy, bacon not over cooked, bake beans, mushrooms tasty. All this plus continental breakfast and juice, coffee and tea. Staff really friendly and customer focused. Our plane couldn't land in Invercargill so we returned to Auckland and could rebook another flight until two days later. The hotel were so understanding and made a note that we were unable to stay for two nights. Because we booked online we had to go back to Expedia who just call the hotel confirmed that we were not book in yet and within 2 hours we received refund for 2 days. Loved our stay and would highly recommend this hotel.
