Convenient
Pros:

The Capital Motor Lodge is convenient. It sits less than 2 kms off SH 1 and is just far enough out of Wellington to make a convenient run into Wellington for attractions, such as Te Papa and the Weta Workshop.
Furthermore, it was one of the simplest and quickest check-ins that I have experienced. Sign a register with my name, number, and registration and take possession of the room keys.
