Good hotel, if dated a little. The suite was spacious and well laid out, although the elevated shower could be hazardous to some. The inclusion of a washer and dryer is a huge bonus. Location is not central but walkable to the main touristy things - plenty of food and dining options nearby.

We utilized the Uber scooters. These were a EXCELLENT way to see a lot of the city in a short period of time. We had 1 free day in Wellington and used them the entire day. Had we walked that, we would have been exhausted before dinner.
