Rydges Wellington Airport
Didn't have breakfast, so no comment. The major restaurant was closed, but the Peltonen had a simple menu and their food was excellent. Well done to who ever is in charge of Food & Beverage there

Oaks Wellington Hotel
The hotel is nice if a little run down. The staff are excellent but the surroundings of the hotel are a little dicey.
