Top New Zealand Defence College Hotel Reviews

BKs Premier Motel Esplanade

10/10 Excellent

"Have been back here the second time and it just keeps getting better! I booked 2 different rooms for our group. They gave us an upgrade so we can be closer to one another. The staff are just too nice. Parking space is HUGE. The motel always smells so good. We love the homey feel of this motel. I commented last time that the place had no hairdryer so they made sure we got one - how attentive are they? We visit Wellington often so we will be booking this place every time from now on :)"
