The room was good could have used better pillows as only one for each side of the bed, the construction noise really put a dampener on the whole thing I was woken so early on a Saturday morning. Definitely was not worth the price

Not so great. The lady on the front desk was the stand out of this hotel. She could not have tried harder. Firstly, there's a lot of construction. We were lucky checking in on Friday afternoon. Better accoms closer to Mt Maunganui.. The room itself is a good size, just needs a gut and rebuild.
