central location pleasant staff hearty breakfast
The hotel location is definitely central! I liked being near the SkyCity and steak houses. The staff was also very cute and pleasant! The breakfast was hearty. I enjoyed that.
The fridge in the room made a slight racket.

convenient location super clean room really good service
The location was convenient. The bus station and main commercial district were a short walk away. The room was spotlessly clean. Diligent housekeeping tidied it daily. Alicia at the front desk provided really good service. She efficiently and professionally handled all my questions.
The hotel was dated. some power sockets were cracked and non-functional, showing slight wear.
