Rydges Wellington Airport
Didn't have breakfast, so no comment. The major restaurant was closed, but the Peltonen had a simple menu and their food was excellent. Well done to who ever is in charge of Food & Beverage there

Room was large, comfortable, and very clean. The balcony was much bigger than expected. Staff is great and the property is perfectly located in the middle of the city.
