got a deal that included free parking, however both times when we came back to motel there were no parks left, totally inadequate parking facilities and would not recommend this place to anyone with a vehicle. wifi very expensive, but room was ok although tv reception was very poor on sky channels.

Our trip (4 of us) to Wellington was great. This Hotel is very very comfortable. Very clean, environmental friendly, well serviced and welcoming. It is a short walk to Westpac Stadium and Lambton Quay. Excellent value for money! Simple, but everything you need. The staff were excellent, especially the young bar lady who had just cashed up when we arrived... More

This hotel is quite impressive from the outside and well situated for visiting the parliament building and not too far to walk into the centre of town. We were able to park for a nominal fee per day which was useful in a city centre. The room was clean, adequate but small.Reception staff were friendly and helpful though very busy,... More

My first stay at this hotel on Trip Advisor recommendation. Superb value across all areas - location (walking distance to everything), comfort (immaculate rooms), bar and dining (great service and food quality very high), reception staff (friendly and very helpful). No WiFi but will stay again.

I was surprised with the cleanliness of this hotel and the comfort of the beds. I slept great each night I stayed here! Views from the room were great, but the windows are all pretty dirty. Rooms are tiny and bland. Shower had great pressure and warmth, so that was good! No fitness facility on site. No free WiFi available,... More

As long as you realise this is a average, old bland hotel and nothing special, then your stay will be fine. The rooms are very (and I mean very!) small and dull, housekeeping is borderline. Staff are also bland (no matter how much you try to get them to smile) but will do what you request. All in all you... More

Stayed twice for a couple of nights and once for a night. Room clean and was all that we needed for a short stay. Convenient for the city which was what attracted us to it and good package deals to be had. You could pay for parking but at the weekends and the evenings after 6pm parking on the road... More
