here as a layover for the Cook Strait ferry. The concierge was polite and friendly even though we only arrived at 11pm. The front hallway was ok, but upstairs a bit rough. The rooms were clean and functional, but also a bit tired. Beds were comfortable enough, and rooms were warm.

The worst experience and the staff including the night manager was so rude. Not will to assist as their booking included on site carpark for additional cost but they don't update their systems when the parking is full. Very disappointed and the staff need professional training on how to have customer service.
