Really loved room decor, cleanliness, ease of check in, convenience of valet parking - just a quick overnight stay so really did not use facilities. However there was not a lot of information upon check in, within the room or on the Sofitel TV Channel as presented by other hotels

Bonjour Kia ora , firstly and mostly, thank you, nga mihi, merci for your kind words of encouragement and recognition of the high value touchpoints in our guest experience journey. I’m proud of our team and their ability to exceed expectations in checkin and hygiene. You will see and feel all of our hygiene enhancements as we continue to communicate our current practices imbedded in our ALLsafe Accor Hygiene program. I note your commentary about inroom information which is a product of our Allsafe standards, to minimize the printed collateral inroom. But I hope the reference material in our QR code that scans to your mobile devices can meet the needs for those seeking more information on our other hotels. Thank you again for recognizing our people and our care. Kia hauora, Be well, Merci, a plus tard, see you soon, Raymond Faulkner GM
