Convenient for a pre-flight stay
Pros:

We had a one night stay prior to an international flight. There was ample parking for our hire car and enough space in our room. The restaurant has a more than adequate menu and choice of drinks.

Cons:

The staff in the restaurant were not up to the usual friendly standard of NZ establishments.
