Marie-france M. Couples - 5/5/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

For our second visit on the 30th April, our only regret was not to have been able to enjoy a room facing the river like on our first visit on the 25th. Besides this fact due to a busy week end stay nothing to report, only praises, particularly the possibility to park underground which makes luggage transfer so easy.

Wonderful stay

Joy Business - 5/1/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Stayed for two nights with my husband. The room was lovely - very comfortable and well set up. We had quite a few Zoom meetings and were able to conduct them on the on the hotel wifi. The breakfasts were great and even though the hotel was full it was very well serviced and kept very clean. The only difficulty I had was trying to use the printer in the business center. I tried for an age to try and follow the instruction with no success. When I approached the front desk they were very helpful and I emailed the documents to them and they printed them for me.

Nicole Families - 4/30/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Mainly experience was good. But, had a split mattress so one night with no sleep. The team changed the mattress for the second night. However, no means to make up for the horrible sleep we’d had on the first night.

Reception staff welcoming and helpful. Room comfortable, clean and a good size for a family. Room service prompt and good quality. Breakfast food great.

Anonymous Families - 4/27/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Everything was a great from reception service, to room comfort and quality, and breakfast food. The only negative that let our experience down was the very rude staff in the restaurant. So much so, I complained to the restaurant supervisor and duty manager. They handled an incident very well. The 3 staff who targeted me were appalling and need significant training in how to communicate with guests. I have never experienced such demeaning and rude comments - in front of other guests, my children and the restaurant supervisor.

Kia ora Kim, Thank you so much for formalizing a response for me to share with my 3 team members who you encountered on Anzac Day. I was extremely disheartened to hear that you and your family were made to feel like this in my restaurant. Please let me assure you that i addressed this with my team upon my return as i mentioned this behavior does not support the expectations i have of my team, nor is this reflective of the how i lead my team. It was lovely to speak to you on the phone and i hope you enjoy the remainder of your holiday with your children. My absolute apologies for your experience and i hope to be given the opportunity to personally welcome you all back again, Have a lovely day, Toni Baker Food and Beverage Manager
