Overall a nice place. Simple and clean, our room was spacious and comfortable with a queen size bed, small writing desk, and plenty of space to store your luggage. A flat screen TV hangs on the wall with about 8 channels, including CNN international. There was also a microwave, coffee/tea making facilities, and refrigerator in the room, as well as drinks and snacks available for purchase.
There’s broadband Internet available, but we didn’t use as we were there for only one night and they charged a fee for usage. They also offer breakfast but again charged over $20 NZ for it so we didn’t partake.
Our room was on the 18th floor, which offered some nice views of downtown Wellington. Also, the elevator required your hotel room swipe card in order to operate, which was a nice added security feature. There are many good restaurants and shops in a 5-10 minute walking radius of the hotel.
There was some construction in the area, so getting to it was a little difficult. And they charge $20 NZ per night to park your car in their ramp. Even though check out was 10 AM, they do allow you to keep your car in the ramp until noon that day, which allowed us time to take a tour of the Parliament building and catch a quick bite for lunch before we were on our way.
