Our unit was very spacious and afforded excellent access and maneuverability for my wifes power wheelchair,
If I had any negatives, it would just be the parking, as the car park out side our unit was often used by other guests.

Arrived late for an overnight stay as part of a business trip. Reception was friendly and room was well presented. The hotel had complimentary drink vouchers for a local restaurant if you ate there and it was walking distance so helped with making a quick decision on where to eat. Overall a good experience and I would recommend this hotel.

Unfortunately I had an accident just after we arrived in Gisborne and had to stay in hospital. My husband stayed at the hotel and thought it was excellent. Our friends and family came and visited us.

I use to stay at this property many years ago, was always a stand out in every way. Sadly the property needs a lot of love. Buckets everywhere to catch rain on the ground floor. The rooms cleanliness is not good. Never seen a bathroom floor so dirty. Finger prints on tv. Washed cutlery before using. Hallway tables covered in dust. I would love to see this hotel come back to its own. 😔
