Great location in the CBD of Wellington, view of the city and sea. We had booked in to watch a play at the Bats Theatre and it was only 5 mins walk. Staff friendly at reception and in the Bar. Enjoyed the “Happy Hour” on site between 4-6 pm and bar snacks prior to going to the theatre. We would definitely recommend this accommodation to others as it has everything you need.

Ideally sited hotel but showing signs of nearing the end of current modeling and in need of updating, staff were welcoming and room clean. Under utilised dining facility with food and beverages of good quality. Car parking on site easily acesable but a pity that reservations for parking cannot be made.
