We arranged a late check in as we left work late and had a 4 1/2 hour drive to Timaru. To make dure that they received special request i phoned them up in afternoon. Was told to phone number left on door and that person will come and open up. We arrived just after 11:30 pm only to find that persons phone was off. We ended up sitting in a small vehicle for the duration of the night. In 22 years in NZ and using various hotels i have never had this happen to me and i will NEVER give them the opportunity to do so again. The receptionist lady was very apologetic but that did not make up for poor policies.
