Fine. Nothing to write home about.
Pros:

I like the location

Cons:

I've stayed before and it was great. This time my room didn't feel as clean. There were dusty lights and the shower needed a bit more gumption. Room didn't smell fresh. The toilet also had a drip in the wall - notified reception. Slept with music on.

I did request a view of the Southern Alps on booking months in advance. As we were staying for 4 nights I wanted a view, but unfortunately my request wasn't able to be filled.
