    I would stay again, if you're looking for high end, possibly not for you. I will return.

    Certainly a bit rough around the edges as far as accommodation. In saying that the staff are fantastic, so welcoming and I genuinely enjoyed my time there.

    No Breakfasts on Sundays, apparently . found a neat spot heading towards nelson so all was well.

    Bathroom facilities...... Not too flash eh No shelf space for shampoos, soap etc... No room for clothes. It's an expensive area to improve, but, it would 100% improve your guests stay enjoyment. No doubt you guys know this. Was a bit unnerving hearing some of your other guests? patrons, talking about a fight incident on your your premises. Squeaky floorboards outside bedrooms are a bit noisy. All the best for the future and I will be staying again.

    Really nice, friendly, helpful staff. Room was comfortable and clean, carpet was clean? shampooed recently? I didn't notice anything obvious, it's just when you see carpet of that age and style, it makes me wonder. Your hotel building is a gem. Thanks for hospitality.

    Internet did not reach my room. Would have to sit out on verandah for better reception. The hand towel in the bathroom didn’t get changed at all in the three days that I was there. The hardwood floors were covered in mats that felt really dirty on bare feet. Pillows were very flat.

    We arrived on Easter night and no one was there for the check in. The hotel back door was left open, we were not given instructions on how to check in. The hotel was populated with weird people coming in and out all night. It didn't feel safe.

    The location is nice

    The place was very hot a fan would have been nice. The bed was to hard, pillows were to soft and flat, no dishwashing brush, no fresh linen for our entire stay no shampoo or conditioner just soap.

    I like the location the place looked better than the photos. Comfortable couch’s

    The hotel is under renovation!!. The stairs, front and back, to the 2nd floor were very ordinary, especially the rear. No kitchen access, closed. No restaurant, closed. No lounge access. The bed was old and sagging, the handbasin tap required tightening before use. None of this is explained in the booking information, and it certainly wasn't taken into account in the nightly rate. We left a day early. No refund was requested. Sometimes you've just got to do what you've got to do.

    Nothing.

    Appears to be partly renovated in the hallway so was a little rough but the rooms themselves were nice enough. No carpet in the hall meant it was a little loud when people were walking around. Better care could be taken when cleaning as we found a couple of other people’s things under our bed while checking for anything we lost! Kitchen wasn’t open (Monday night) which was a shame as we were wanting to try the pizza!

    Our room got upgraded so instead of having to split our family up we could all stay together. We had a sink/jug/toaster in our room but had to request cutlery/plates but that was easy enough. Showers were hot and close to our room. Coffee provided included Latte sachets which was a nice surprise. Greatly appreciated.
