Ideally located at Napier beach area with well appointed rooms and an elevator!
Pros:

Well situated with outlook over beach, room clean and tidy. One reason for choosing this property was the provision of an elevator as I was unable to use stairs. The attached restaurant was also a bonus on a wet and windy night

Cons:

No dislikes
