Convenient Stay Downtown

The location is VERY convenient, right by transportation. The room was clean. the air conditioning worked GREAT. The staff was friendly. They accommodated my request. I was grateful.
The pillows were too long for the double bed. These pillows overlapped due to their size. It was awkward with two people in a bed.

Central Location and Smooth Processes

great locationsmooth processawkward pillow
I appreciated the hotel's location. Wynyard station is just across the road.. It made getting to and from the airport very simple. I also found the self check-in and check-out machines very convenient. These machines made the processes seamless and easy.
I found the pillows a bit off. The pillows are over a meter long. It is awkward with two people in a bed with pillows that overlap each other because of their size.
Rooms

The room was a good size and modern. It included a king bed and a small seating area. The bathroom featured a walk-in shower and provided basic toiletries.
