Incredible in every respect, except they’d run out of sanitisation wipes at the gym and they weren’t replenished during my stay. Hygiene, especially with gym equipment is really important and there was no way to clean things. I’m sure it was temporary glitch.
Nice and new. Air con was tricky to get cold and the view over the tvnz satellite dishes isn't exactly great! Shower pressure could use an upgrade too. All minor things but the place is new
Downtown luxury hotel that has good bones and amazing services. Lots of restaurants and cafes to choose from. No pool or spa though and the rooms can get really warm during the day.
