Michael, Tauranga

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Seriously in need of renovation. Parts of the "room", its the size of a jail cell (no exageration) are held together with cellotape. The shower is so tiny my shoulders touch both sides, and when I asked for a glass of ice water be sent up or a menu, I was told to come down the bar and get it! No concept of service. Three good points, the pulled beef burger was high quality and delish, the bar and reception staff very nice (2 young ladies) and a good central location.

Ngaire

Position is excellent. Excellent information of how to get into the hotel when I had got in after a late flight but no information in the room about WiFi number. Bathroom seriously needs updating. The bath had areas of where coating had come off and a brown stain around it. Glass around the shower had mould. Toilet needed repetitive flushings.

This property definitely feels tired and due for renovation. The soundproofing between rooms and floors isn’t great, and my bathroom had rot in the woodwork around the shower, that looked to have gone under the lino. But the room was big and the bed was comfortable, and the location is excellent - it just needs some time and money spent on it.

Disliked: Room comfort
Do not stay here. Terrible. Rooms tiny no room for suitcases and people together. Shower was stainless steel made you feel like you are in the morgue. Bathroom full of mould. Owners are Chinese and have not put a cent into renovating this place to make it nice. The only good thing is the location. Would not put anyone in here.
