"The hotel was conveniently located to Paihia Wharf and nearby shops/restaurants. The rooms were fairly spacious. There was a laundry room that we used, but it could use another set of washer and dryer. Parking was free. There is a game room with an uneven foosball table, a giant Jenga puzzle, a table tennis table with rackets and ball you shared with foosball, a giant Connect 4, and a corn hole board with sacks. The staff was very helpful and friendly."
