Stay Timaru
The only thing was that I was used to a firmer mattress. And maybe an extra pillow would have been helpful.

The Grosvenor
The rooms were very dated. Not enough power points, toilet virtually impossible to flush and paintwork peeling. No water provided in the room. The bed however was large and comfy and the restaurant passable.
