The room is cheap, the room is large, the public bathroom is OK, but it's a bit noisy, the roadside noise is noisy... Everything else is OK.

In addition to the beautiful appearance of the building, the facilities inside the building are old and the carpets in the rooms are particularly dirty. I checked out a few hours after checking in and moved to another hotel. Oh, I had to register a credit card when I checked in. I didn’t know how to operate it, which was a very bad check-in experience.

It was a wonderful hotel that I would like to visit again. The staff were very kind to me even though I didn't speak much English.

Room was at the top of 3 flights of stairs. It was pokey and dirty. No remote for tv. The bed was on the floor, with no legs so u didn't hit your head on the ceiling. G.M was rude and they promise to return our $300.00 bond the next morning but didn't. We rang to follow-up and were told, 'sorry our G.M is off today'. Very disappointing. Don't waste your money here!

A hell of a palaver trying to get into the room. Required ID - but only a passport or NZ Drivers Licence - of which I had neither on me. Asked for $300 deposit (after we had paid for the stay) promising to refund this if it wasn't needed. 2 weeks later, after emailing the hotel, they said 'oh thanks for the reminder'. Very poor. How many folk don't 'remind' them? Room very pokey. Parking was $40/day. Not $30 as advertised. Not going back.

only thing positive was location, central to everything we wanted to do. The hallway smelt very musty, nearly knocked you over when you opened the door. the window did not have a lock, towel rail in bathroom was not there. The remote for Tv did not work, the mattress was stained .
