I had read the reviews before booking, so I was aware of what I might be in for. However, I found the check in quite helpful – there was an issue in the bathroom which staff apologised profusely for and as they were booked out he would have preferred to give me another room, but this understandably wasn’t possible. I arrived quite late, but this wasn’t an issue. It was conveniently located to my workshop and the room was lovely enough for the price. Unfortunately the shower was quite dirty but the room was nice and clean. The only other issue was a loud, drunk person outside in the hallway, but this wasn’t the hotels fault and thankfully it didn’t go on for too long. ☺️

It’s not a place for proper people to stay. It stings and filthy. No private bathroom or shower. Complete ripoff. Won’t trust to Expedia antif I don’t get my full refund because I had to leave the place to find somewhere to stay

The price and location were awesome. The place is very old and you get what you pay for. Also, the parking nearby is pretty expensive. You’re better off staying here if you don’t have a car, want to save some money and be the middle of everything.

Room was at the top of 3 flights of stairs. It was pokey and dirty. No remote for tv. The bed was on the floor, with no legs so u didn't hit your head on the ceiling. G.M was rude and they promise to return our $300.00 bond the next morning but didn't. We rang to follow-up and were told, 'sorry our G.M is off today'. Very disappointing. Don't waste your money here!

You have to remind them about deposit refund :(
A hell of a palaver trying to get into the room. Required ID - but only a passport or NZ Drivers Licence - of which I had neither on me. Asked for $300 deposit (after we had paid for the stay) promising to refund this if it wasn't needed. 2 weeks later, after emailing the hotel, they said 'oh thanks for the reminder'. Very poor. How many folk don't 'remind' them? Room very pokey. Parking was $40/day. Not $30 as advertised. Not going back.
