Amazing service by Nz standard ”
Super impressed by the efficiency and friendliness of the staff. Very professional and happy to help and go above and beyond at every turn. Very clean also and breakfast was excellent. All rooms and dining room immaculately turned out. Yes it’s dated but I would be back in a heartbeat on my next visit given the truly excellent service (keep it up - don’t know what your doing with your staff selection/culture / training but it’s working!!), cleanliness and handy location.

Excellent Staff, Clean Rooms”
Highly Recommend staying here. We well accommodated here, close to city centre, little dairy close by. Right across from the water.

Dated but clean. There was no kitchenette so we had to get water for the kettle and wash our cups in the bathroom sink. We had a kettle, tea, coffee, milk, fridge. No microwave or cloths to wipe surfaces.Bed was comfy. Bit noisy with doors that slammed hard. However clean and slept well. We booked online which we won’t do again. I’d rather phone and ask what’s available before hitting the book now key that takes you to a different website.

Great location - welcoming ”
Rooms are spacious and well laid out- good beds. Bypass the restaurant as food was over seasoned and more of a winter menu, even though it was

Comfortable but not pretty.”
It doesn't look like much from the outside - dated exterior and hallways. The room had been recently refurbished and they did a pretty good job - new carpet, new curtains, the bed was super comfy, and the tv is huge. However the yellowing air con unit looked 20 years old and very out of place.... maybe it's not finished? The lighting was set up in a weird way - either all the lights in the room were on, or just a single spotlight shining down on the bed at eye level (why??) - no separate reading lamps. Curtains don't split in the middle so quite awkward to use. Overall the room was nice. The pool is indoor but not heated, and the spa is great but the wooden steps look like they're about to break any second. Let's hope when the renovations are finished they will tidy up the loose ends and it'll be one of the best places in Whangarei.

Very tired & run down but great location & good staff”
Everything about this hotel is run down. The carpets are stained & worn. The furniture is old I& tired. The bed is soft & the bedspread was stained (yes - it had a bedspread!). The bathrooms are tired & therefore look dirty. The photos, uploaded 5 years ago, show what it was like 5 years ago & that hasn’t changed - it’s just not all 5 years old & has not aged well. It has great facilities, is in a perfect location & the staff are wonderful but without serious investment, this hotel will never be a recommended stay for me. Retro is good. Stained, rotten & tired is not :(
