My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room, although a bit stuffy at night, was comfortable and had great amenities like a spa bath and a powerful shower. The service was outstanding with attentive and friendly staff. The location was super central, making it easy to explore the city. The dining experience was good, but the early start time was a bit inconvenient. The facilities were well-maintained and offered everything I needed.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The room was clean and tidy, and the spa shower was a luxurious touch. Happy hour overlooking the carpark with the best NZ wine and sunset views was a highlight. The staff were attentive, friendly, and extremely helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. The central location was perfect, allowing easy access to all amenities without any noise disturbances. The dining experience was good overall, with friendly staff and fresh products. I enjoyed the facilities, especially the pool and restaurant/bar offerings.
The hotel was located conveniently close to the city center by the river, making it perfect for our needs. The rooms were very clean, but being on the far end of the ground floor was not ideal. The service from the hotel staff was exceptional with great hospitality, ensuring a welcoming and helpful stay. The dining experience was satisfying, especially considering the included options in the price. Overall, a great choice for a stay, offering clean rooms, friendly service, and a perfect location.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was beautifully decorated, spacious, and had some cool features like bedside lamps with USB attachments. However, it was a bit noisy due to the road side location. The service was exceptional, especially with Tommy going out of his way to get us into the Restaurant. The location was peaceful and close to the city center, but the dining experience was a bit of a letdown with overcooked food. Overall, a great place with some minor drawbacks.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms, while a bit on the smaller side, had a lovely balcony which was a nice touch. They were ready for me as soon as I received a text, and surprisingly, this was the cheapest option available. The rooms were clean, tidy, and I particularly enjoyed the underfloor heating in the bathroom.
The hotel offers up to the standard accommodation with out of this world dining experience. The rooms were comfortable, although a wee bit noisy from hallway and entrance noise. The location is fantastic, walking distance to central Nelson with a park right in front. The dining was faultless, although not consistently good in terms of quantity and execution.
The hotel offered comfortable rooms with a lovely view, providing a great sleep experience at a very good price. The service was accommodating, especially with my early arrival, though there was a rude incident observed. The location was excellent, just a few minutes from the town center, offering a convenient setting to relax. The dining experience was good overall, with a variety of options to choose from.
The hotel offered clean and tidy rooms, but the size didn't quite match the price paid. Great service accompanied by wonderful and delicious food. The location was convenient for both work and leisure, despite occasional noise from the nearby bar. Dining experiences varied from ordinary to fantastic, depending on the dish.
