6/10 Good

The staff were very friendly and the room was fine with everything we needed. However, it was quite noisy all through the night, partly due to a noisy fridge in the room but also from the the noisy traffic. Probably not a problem if you're a heavy sleeper.

Hobson’s Choice is where I stay when I have to overnight in Dargaville as they have kept up their standards over the years. Each time I am there they have some small improvement and this time it was a heat pump in the room.

1) Parking No designated parking lost parking directly out front of unit as other customers park in your spot. Very Inconvenient Parkjng should be lined out with Unit number gor parallel parking 2) Bed - Most uncomfortable mattress I have ever slept on it was terrible sleeping straight on bed wire !!! 3) Shower - Operated as a trickle no shower pressure - dissapointing experience 4) Location was great easy access to shopping motor way, central sight seeing
