The hotel provided a spotlessly clean room with everything needed for a good night's sleep, serving our purposes well. However, the room itself was sparse, badly lit, and lacked natural light due to its proximity to another building.

The staff were very polite, with one exception where they weren't able to assist promptly with vehicles causing us to be late for meetings. One staff member went out of her way to provide helpful maps and directions.
Location
7.0
The hotel's location was good, being close to the city center with many nearby restaurants. However, the area seemed a bit tired and wasn't the best value for money.
Dining

The dining delivery time was inconvenient for us, and breakfast service on the second day was late. While not included in the room rate, dining options were available in the CBD.

The hotel facilities were functional, though some improvement could be made, especially with the work by tradesmen. Basic amenities were provided.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were quite nice considering the price we paid, centrally located, clean, and the staff was helpful. However, there was a slight unpleasant smell like something rotting in the room, and the actual size was smaller than what the pictures portrayed.

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, especially in sorting out any issues. While they were generally helpful, they may not have been overly friendly, except for one particularly nice woman during check-out.
Location

The location was great, situated at the top end of Courtenay Place in Wellington. It was close to excellent restaurants and the main arthouse cinema palace. However, there were some moldy walls in certain parts and selecting a room carefully is advisable.
Dining

The dining service could have been improved. Breakfast was delivered late for my preference, and for the price paid, it would have been better if it was included.

The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay, but it would have been even better if some areas were better maintained.

The hotel offers a great location within walking distance to key attractions and downtown. The rooms were overall good but showed signs of wear and could use some improvement. The service was a mix of courteous and unprofessional. The dining experience had some issues with timing. The facilities were decent but not outstanding.
