Good location, poor experience
Pros:

Good location to explore Napier. Free on site parking.

Cons:

I was not greeted promptly on arrival, two staff members finished their conversation before addressing me. Very noisey late in the evening with people running up and down corridor and slamming doors. Response from staff unsatisfying when addressing concerns the next day.

It was average. I am disappointed in the service, and the breakfast was very ordinary.
Pros:

The room was nice

Cons:

The staff all seemed to have trainee badges on, check in was less than satisfactory, questions over the rate, the charges, and check in (room wasnt ready, was asked to take a seat, had to ask again after 20 minutes as no-one had responded, communication poor here)
