Pros:

We stay at the Copthorne everytime we visit Wellington. We always get a room with a harbour view which is really cool especially at night with the city and harbour all lit up. The beds are super comfortable and we highly recommend this hotel.

Cons:

Parking is an issue at times, parking area is too small and the other carpark is away from the hotel ( which you pay for )

The restaurant is a let down, we had breakfast there one morning on one of our first visits and the chef looked sloppy and he was unfriendly and the food was very average. ( They may have a new chef by now I am not sure ) We tend to go out to eat instead now.
