A relaxing stay before the ferry to Wellington, looked round the air museum as we were allowed to check in early so had plenty of time. Room was comfortable, clean and spacious. Had dinner in the Japanese restaurant which was very good.

Room was clean. Hotel was clean. Had a delicious restaurant. Restaurant staff were so friendly when I had an opportunity to interact with them. Check in/our was easy. Gave me recommendations for food etc. About 15 mins walk from the main center but an easy walk. Evenings are a bit quieter so if you don't like that then stay closer. I was a female solo traveler and I had no issues walking into town for dinner/errands/breakfast. By a beautiful river and park. Loved this area !
