Pros:

The newly renovated rooms.
The restaurant specials on different nights and the buffet breakfast is good value for the price. Though some of the hot foods dont stay hot. But that happens everywhere

Excellent property and location.
Pros:

The location was excellent. Everything was excellent from the reception people to the restaurant staff. The meals and breakfast at the Angus restaurant were exceptional 😋. Being across the road for the shopping mall made it a great location. Room was clean and tidy and a good size.

Cons:

The only thing I had a problem with was filling the jug in the room because it wouldn't fit under the tap in the bathroom.

All in all great idea to have a function everyone and everything is under the same roof
Pros:

Location across the road from the mall was great very convenient
Good play area out the back for our tamariki and a table set up for birthday dining

Cons:

More towels in the Bedroom (4 ppl in the room n only 2 towels)
More pillows on each bed
Toilets in the bar area not big enough for the large crowds
Slow service to refill breakfast chaffing dishes,
Need better bigger coffee pots n hot water facilities for tea station..
Monitor for large crowds = quicker refills
All n all Food was good

Easy no fuss stay.
Pros:

Great location with plenty of rooms, parking onsite available.
Our night staff lady was brilliant and very helpful & a lovely asset.
The star of the show was the Parrot.
Ideal for large groups of people as easily accommodated in the facility & if you don't have a car, no worries you can walk to the shops or catch the bus.
Restaurant & Bar on site, so if you can't walk far that won't be an issue.

Cons:

The lighting was funky in some of the rooms & questionable as it wasn't always logical, & some rooms had lights that did not work. My friend had no working lights in their room ?.But it does look like they are improving the facilities so next trip should be even better.

Handy location, food at the Angus was exceptional, bed was comfy

Cons:

Was quite cold in the rooms with small electric portable fan heaters, and cleanliness let it down. Was alot of dust on the surfaces where the glasses were.
