Love the location. Very convenient for visiting the hospital.
Beds were very comfortable and clean. Unfortunately the bathroom is in need of a new fit out. But we did have everything we needed.

We enjoyed our stay. Well equipped room within moderate walking distance of cbd. Perhaps inevitability for central city, there was some noise from neighbours

Not welcoming, very very cold day and heater (not heat pump) not turned on in unit in preparation for guest. Bathroom very outdated and in extremely poor repair.

A very typical dated and tired motel. We stayed for 3 nights (1 adult 4 children) and the room was very small. The staff were friendly but you could tell the business owners weren’t prepared to spend any coin on finishing touches - even basics like more than 2 hangers for clothing or a sharp knife in the kitchen. Bathroom door kept jamming closed. It was ok. Staff were nice.
I wouldn’t stay there

Property is showing it's age but was clean and convenient. Parking is limited so you have to check in early if you want a spot.

No Milk Again
They need to ensure milk is in each unit before the people check in. To say their is no milk is unacceptable. That has happened twice now.

Motel was quite adequate and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. Motels are easy to access and depart from when arriving from outside Wellington and departing Wellington.

Insufficient parking for visitors to Wellington makes it very difficult and unsafe for non locals. Having a more formal arrangement for overflow vehicles would be useful.
On the positive; despite being near highway 1 there was little road noise in the room.
