The room itself was lovely. The bed and pillows were great. The air conditioning was very noisy and for all the noise it didn't really do much...apart from be noisy.

Kia ora, I am pleased to see that your room was lovely, with the bed and pillows comfortable. I am sorry that AC unit was noisy and fairly ineffective, they haven't been in use for the past 10 weeks or so, this may have caused the issue you have noted. Kindest regards Marcus

Staff very helpful. Some mould in shower tiles near taps but as we all know that is near impossible to remove in the grout.

Kia ora, Thank you for your comments. Saturday was exceptionally busy with what appeared to be everyone arriving at the same time, which did put pressure on the team in checking everyone in and returning rooms to be ready. I do apologise that this impacted on your overall experience with us. Kindest regards Marcus

Great having 2 double beds as a twin share option. Hotel needs a bit of an upgrade, air conditioning unit is noisy and old. Even the menus etc in the room look old and well used. Parking is a pain and I didn't realise I should pre book. alternative parking is just around the corner but you still have to navigate through intersections to get there. Excellent breakfast down in the Portlander. Delayed service on check in but otherwise service was really good.

Kia ora, Thanks for your rating and comments. Glad to see that you liked the two double bed configuration in our twin rooms. The hotel was last refurbished in 2016, we do appreciate that the style and decor might not meet everyone's preference or expectations. We are currently trialling a new air-con unit that is modern, efficient and quiet - we just need a little more time to ensure that it is actually fit for purpose for our rooms. car parking is a big challenge as a result of the style of building and our location. Really pleased to read that you enjoyed breakfast in the Portlander Restaurant. Sorry the check-in process was a little slow, however great to see that overall service from out team was really good. Kindest regards Marcus

Kia ora, Thank you for your strong rating and comments. I am pleased to see that you liked your complimentary upgrade. Our rooms were last refurbished in mid 2016, it is a challenge to refurbish a hotel and have a decor that will suit everyone's taste/preference and expectations. Kindest regards Marcus
