We drove to New Plymouth, on checking in we were told parking onsite would be an additional $20 per day. Last time we stayed there parking was free!!!! Secure parking onsite is part of staying in the hotel we thought. We got back late, no one answered the night bell to let us in and the swipe card to enter didn’t work. Had to phone them to let me in

A clean, modern facility with welcoming staff. The only downside is the hotel is located on a one way street which makes it difficult to access but this wouldn’t put us off staying here again.

Great central location within walking distrance to a lot of cafes and things to see and do. Also the staff were really friendly, professional and super helpful. Especially Celia (and another young lady) who helped us with a ribbon hold punch for a gift.
