Old Fashion hotel experience
Pros:

This is my second stay at this historic hotel. Love the food and drinks. The free breakfast was a nice bonus.
The rooms are really old fashioned and feel like you are back in time.

Cons:

Hot pools were crowded by families and children at night time. Not appropriate for a romantic weekend.
Our queen bed was two singles pushed together. No refrigerator in the rooms for storing any cold food you may have.

Old style charm
Pros:

Nice old character building that has been well kept. Comfortable and warm. Great having the restaurant and bar down the hallway.

Cons:

Not so negative but the walk down to the hot pools at night could have been easier with a few lights. Pools were included in our stay so can’t really complain.

Wouldn't stay again - there are better hot springs
Pros:

The hot springs were good and we also had a private hot tub.

Cons:

When we arrived, the check-in person asked us where we came from and when we said Auckland he said, "The best view of Auckland is the one in your rear vision mirror." I thought this exceptionally rude. The job of people who work in hospitality is to make you feel welcome not insult you.
Our unit did not match the photo on the website. The website photo had been lightened so that it looked bright, fresh and new. I think this is dishonest.
The staff serving in the restaurant were exceptionally casually dressed - in lycra, track pants, jandals and trainers. The food was average pub food quality (i.e. not very good).
