Easy drive in and park each time we returned to the Hotel. We walked most places when dining out and found though the streets steep in places, it was exactly what we needed after indulging in the Wellington cuisine

The hotel has been updated recently and it looks good. The food as usual is up to standard. I would like to see the evening buffet come back on but the a la carte menu is comprensive. The breakfast buffet is back on though and good to see the chef cooking eggs to order. Love to watch him cooking eggs sunny side up. I wish I could do that

The hotel is in the city centre so the shops and cafes are close by. They have just finished renovating the rooms and they are looking good. The bathroom I found spacious and although I did not use the shower it is a nice large one. The staff are all friendly and helpful and the meals in the resturant are fresh and well cooked. I would like to see the evening buffet come back but the choice in the a la carte menu is also good Nice to see the breakfast buffet back though.
