Microtel by Wyndham Wellington
Room was clean and tidy. Only let down was I stayed 2 nights and on day two I didn’t have anyone come change towels or anything so I couldn’t have a shower before I checked out. Other then that very good

Naumi Hotel Wellington
Generally a very good stay in all aspects excepting that the shower is ridiculously poorly designed, to the extent I wouldn’t book again if I had other comparable offerings

Oaks Wellington Hotel
Room was large, comfortable, and very clean. The balcony was much bigger than expected. Staff is great and the property is perfectly located in the middle of the city.
