Tiniest room and bathroom in NZ.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Room (5) was very small in the corner of the corridor in between two fire exit doors and staff rooms. Bed was too small for two people to sleep and was pushed into the corner and it was difficult for me to climb. There was a noise from the bathroom whole night. No parking facility. I had to do off-street parking. There was no space to keep our two suitcases.

Hotel King Room comfortable but bed area may be a bit tight for 2. Good facilities and friendly staff
Pros:

Clean and modern. Has small kitchenette -microwave and sink. Luggage rack. Central and 10 minutes walk to bus interchange. Friendly reception and cleaning staff. I did not use it but there is a lounge and full kitchen available in the building.

Cons:

Size of room means to get to window, need to shuffle close to bed to get to other side of bed where window is. Would be nice if there is a bathroom heated rail to dry the bath towels.

It was comfortable. This is the second time I've stayed here as my work sends all our staff here.
Pros:

Location.

Cons:

The room smells, maybe it's the carpet. I stayed in the old wing. it was hard to open the door because of the carpet.

Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis passt gut für einen kurzen Aufenthalt
Pros:

Schöne Anlage in zentraler Lage. Super Food Court gleich dahinter.

Cons:

Bei den Zimmern im EG ist vor dem Fenster wo das Bett steht gleich der Parkplatz. Wenn sich dort jemand unterhaltet hat man das Gefühl man steht daneben.
