The studio was spacious and clean, and had all the amenities you could ask for. There is ample parking and it’s relatively easy to get into the CBD either by driving or taking public transport. The staff were very friendly and I think the offer of milk is a nice touch, it saves you going to the nearby petrol station which I found to be the only alternative.

The room was very spacious and clean. The parking is a bit tight, but with a smaller vehicle it was really not an issue to get in and out.

Great location - easy walk to the city centre and Merivale . Very comfortable . Would have been helpful to have a mirror in the upstairs bedroom . But otherwise would recommend

I liked how they were pet friendly and except for some common instructions there was no dramas. Even having a pet friendly room , it was still so neat. Sofa bed was a bit dirty when we opened it up but we didnt use it. Otherwise overall, we loved the place. A bit of cleaning would help but not a major issue. Friendly custimer service.

Unfriendly welcome

I enjoyed my stay and discovered the new dog park out the back of the hotel which is an excellent asset for dog owners like me. One recommendation would be to put some lights there for nighttime, as I couldn't see to clean up after my dog at 7.30 pm due to the dark. I did also have an unpleasant experience when checking in. I was checked in by Shelley (apologies if I've misspelled the name). Because I had never stayed here before, I questioned what the second rule meant on the "rules for dog owners" and her tone was dismissive and rude - I showed her the form. She explained it meant that Hagley Park and the back of the hotel were places to take your pet for toilet stops and to pick up after them, which made sense ( I hadn't known Hagley Park was close to the hotel either). Unfortunately, it was the sarcastic tone that left me feeling very uncomfortable. And it continued through the whole check-in experience. I later met another staff member who asked how I was finding the dog park and my interaction with this staff member was enjoyable, which made up for the communication at the beginning.

A little bit of excellence in every way.

It was roomy, quiet, warm and very comfortable. It had full kitchen facilities and I think we may have been upgraded. It is close to Merivale and within walking distance from eateries and shops. The staff were very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. It is one of our favourite places.

We loved the cleanliness and the space to move around. A couple of things could have done with a bit of updating, otherwise very comfortable and ideal for a short stay.
