I travel a lot. Willis Wellington feels a bit tired and worn (for the price paid). The good? Spotlessly clean and fresh bedding/linen. The not so good? Bathroom a bit worn (chipped paint, general wear and tear apparent). Condensation on the windows. The room was very hot in the evening, and no way to cool it. There was some sort of fan/heater contraption but I couldn't get it to work. It's a decent walk into central Wellington. All in all, and 'okay' stay for the price paid, but nothing special.
