An Art Deco Gem”

Highly recommended for a no fuss stay. I slept well and felt safe and secure. Interesting building which contains some interesting historical items from the 1953 Royal Visit - the Queen stayed here. It also has C20th ceramics not very well displayed, but interesting to me as an avid collector of teapots (not the novelty ones) . A collector of liquor themed ceramics would also enjoy a walk through the bar. Food was homely and good - quite moderately priced; $19 for Eggs Benedict that would be at least $25 in Auckland. An Art Deco gem that’s showing its age, but then so am I.
