The room is large and spacious. It is quite basic but has the necessary facilities. Staff are wonderful and accomodating. 24 hr reception is good and they dry your clothes for free. I don’t recommend the hair dryer so take your own. Beds are comfortable. The area is fantastic and so close to the sky tower. The stay was incredible value for money. Parking was cheap and available.

We arrived about 7 in the morning and asked if we could leave bags there. Can't check in til 3pm. The receptionist was amazing he checked to see if room was ready and allowed us to take our bags to the room, freshen up after 27 hrs flight and even gave us recommendations for breakfast. We will definitely stay here again when visiting our family. Well done everyone for your excellent service.
