The stay was good.
Pros:

The only thing about Whangarei is no buses on a Sunday and even during the week and Saturdays they stop running early.I realise this is nothing to do with the hotel.

Cons:

The library wasn't open on Sunday and quiet a few shops also.

I looked for the cheapest option available. And I definitely got it. I won't stay there again
Pros:

Sorry, I cant think of anything nice. Actually, the location was pretty good. Most things you'd need were just around the corner

Cons:

Morning showers were cold. Bathroom had mouldy window coverings. Shower wall starting to crumble. Very poor bathroom

old hotel...trying to keep up.
Pros:

the hotel is a old building, the tafftryes but is so much you can do without proper renovation

Cons:

with a bit of attention to details and a bit more cleaning the hotel will be good.
