Red Chute accommodation from NZ$134

Key didn’t work to get on the elevator to our room and it smelled heavily of weed for a nonsmoking room.

This location was a miss for us. Location was poor, unfortunately the area is a little rundown. We were greeted by the unhoused in the area while circling to get to the hotel. The Boardwalk is pretty non existent, as everything is mostly closed down. Downtown area is also pretty closed and rundown. The hotel was unfortunately scarcely staffed. The works appeared "unhappy". I was unhappy with our room location as mentioned it upon checkout but no amendments were made, she acted as if I never said anything. I mentioned it again and again, no response. She just sat the card on the counter and said use it at the elevator. No directions to elevator, no mention of amenities, no checkout time. Room cleaning was pretty good, no major complaints, except the fridge still had food from last occupants. Only 1 set of towels. Called to ask for more but kept getting put "on hold" eventually went down stairs to request. Our "neighbors" were extremely LOUD you could hear them several doors down and they were across from us. 5pm, 8pm, 10pm, 2am...still loud...it was someone's birthday and this was once the "party room". Called but again...put on hold. Went down stairs to have it addressed and the response was one word..."ok". No microwave in the room and no supposedly none on site..which I highly doubt, the staff has to have a break room ..so a "not for public use" would be better. Casino poorly ran as well, dirty, out of cups for drinks, no waiters, machines don't accept $1. Not recommended

Everyone was friendly at check in, but they were understaffed and had people waiting. The room was very clean, but dated. Bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were flat. We went to the sports bar and it was delicious and we he service was great. Overall the stay was good.
