Great location and comfort
I was a bit put out when I went to try and cook on our room cooking facilities and couldn’t find any pans or utensils
Reception finally found me a pan after some searching but a bit strange that you should have cooking in the room with nothing to cook with!

Christmas in Wgtn.
Staff at the front were probably the best of any place we have stayed in NZ or any other country we have traveled. Always pleasant with a smile and always assisted with a few difficulties we faced. Thank you.

Check in person at the desk was rude/curt and could NOT be bothered. She was short and clearly pissed off that we were checking in. Little information and said very snarky-just get the information in your room. SOOOOO bad we almost left. Had it not been prepaid we would have.
