The Ashley Hotel
Room was very small, shower was terrible. The restaurant was lovely and staff were great

Copthorne Hotel Greymouth
Very dated hotel. The room was not well kept with a very dated bathroom. Most surprisingly, it only included a fan. Surely, there are nicer places to stay in Greymouth. The staff was nice but I would never stay here again.
