Nice stay with great view but somewhat noisy room.
Pros:

Nice location across the street from the beach. Semi-circle building with all rooms facing the water and the street so cars can be heard driving by especially when horns are honking at night and early morning. Room was clean with plenty of electrical outlets. Easy walking distance to nearby restaurants and shops although shops closed at 5pm on weekdays. Breakfast buffet was okay but packed full of people each morning at 6:30am opening. Dinner available as well but we ate out every night. No on site fitness center but able to access health spa across the street (fitness center - free; pool - $10) from 5:30am opening although very busy at that time. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Excellent Option for a Stay in Napier.
Pros:

Very good hotel, on the Napier sea front. Easy access to the city centre, too and a short if slightly energetic walk up Bluff Hill, which gives you great views of the surroundings.
The hotel is well-appointed for a small city. The breakfast options are good (buffet-style) and the dinner menu was right up our street. The food was well-cooked and the waiter service very attentive.
The rooms were good, too, and everywhere was clean and tidy.
Great value for money.
We would recommend this hotel to anybody.

Great location - we will be back for the art deck festival next year!
Pros:

The location was perfection! It was lovely to sit at the chairs at the front of the room overlooking the ocean. So easy to walk to the restaurants and beach.

Cons:

The lobby is very small and was very congested with other guests when we were trying to check in.
