Disliked: Staff & service
When we arrived, it seemed to be not open, there were no cars in the carpark, and the reception area was confusing. Room was adequate. Outlook wasn't nice, just buildings, houses. It was close to the Te Puia Centre.

Room was very clean and with separate bedroom and separate bed in lounge was perfect for 2 women travelling together. I had to reposition the standard lamp so I could read in bed and perhaps a wall light over the lounge bed would be a good idea. No small mixing bowl in kitchen and had to whisk 3 eggs in a dessert bowl for scrambled eggs. Very quiet location. Not within walking distance of the main centre, but we knew that.

The room was clean and tidy. Had a King size bed but this was a bit lumpy and felt it was sloping downhill. There seemed to be very little noise insulation as we were disturbed by noise from surrounding rooms. The people were not particularly noisy, but the construction materials were not noise absorbing which meant our peaceful weekend wasn't so peaceful.
