Really disappointing 3 nights stay!
Pros:

The view, location & gym across the road were all great.

Cons:

No air conditioning in room 520. I was not told this when we checked in. Rang reception that afternoon, was told that on the 5th floor some air conditioners needed maintenance. Was told we could use the fan or open the window. It was uncomfortably hot. As some rooms have air conditioning & ours did not, we felt ripped off as we were paying for a room with this feature.
Also the bathroom floor drain smelled of sewage. I emailed the general manager of these issues. We stayed 3 nights.

Location great, everything else average at best
Pros:

Great location but very dated facilities and super-unfriendly staff.
Took 2 requests and until 4pm to get my room serviced which seemed to consist of tucking in sheets and folding towels -no cleaning.
Good service in the bar and restaurant but food only average.
Overall probably ok value for money but would never go back.

Great Hotel Stay
Pros:

Lovely clean and large room with a great ocean view. Good location for access to waterfront, wandering along the beach and cafes etc. Friendly and efficient staff. Thank you. Would highly recommend. Napier has Art Deco buildings but some are looking a little tired.

A memorable two days in Napier. Thank you.
Pros:

Everything was perfect. The dinner was excellent. The staff were very helpful and always cheerful. The hotel was within walking distant of everywhere we wanted to go. The weather was great - fine the first day and cleared uo by lunchtime the next day. My sister and I really enjoyed our trip to Napier!

Cons:

I have no complaints about any part of our stay at Scenic Te Pania Hotel. Keep it up. The only hitch was our flight was cancelled and we were lucky to get a flight to Auckland and then to Nelson on he same day for which we were very grateful.
