Pros:

Our room was nice and quiet, it was clean. It wasn't as good as the last time I stayed though. Spa pool was tepid and wouldn't let us turn it up.

Cons:

I had an unpleasant experience with one of the staff. She said she was new, and the manager apologized, but I won't be going back. We also valet parked our car ($40 a day), called them ahead of time and it was never ready when we came down. The key cards were faulty and we had to change them 2 or 3 times. Was annoying

Average for the cost and five star
Cons:

Check in and check out experience were slow, the system was to blame for both..

Room and facilities not that of a five star hotel or the price, room was just plain and dated.

Lovely hotel in great location and will definitely stay again
Pros:

Lovely decor, spacious room, fantastic block out curtains, very clean, daily room servicing and great staff - all requests followed up quickly. Great location - very close to lambton quay.

Cons:

Husband thought the bed was a bit soft but I thought it was ok. Also, more crockery and cooking pots would have helped.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay - professional and friendly staff. Highly recommend it.
Pros:

Room was spacious - enough for my daughter. Room was very clean and well lit. Loved the Fitness Area - as we would go early morning and late at night. Daughter loved the pool. Location was easy to find via Google Maps. We flew down from Auckland to Wellington, and the location of the hotel was perfect from the airport - quick sightseeing as it was my daughter's first trip to WLG.

Cons:

If possible - earlier check-in... I arrived in Wellington just before 9am, and I had hoped to check in before going to the family reunion - but it was not possible, so I had to drive around with my luggage. The desk clerk did say we could keep our bags at the front desk... but I decided not to leave them behind. Parking was also a bit limited.

Pros:

Bien situé
Suite 73m bien équipée et très grande
Chouette piscine et sauna
Propre

Cons:

Le voiturier aurait pu m’aider avec mes 5 bagages et 2 enfants au lieu de me regarder tout sortir de ma voiture à 3 mètres de moi.
