The venue looks like it was lovely in its day but it is tired and dated. There is pigeon poop on the ledges outside and the pool needs a revamp. The hotel could be done up beautifully and it would be amazing. Pluses were that the room was fine. Nice staff at check in. Great to be able to park our vehicles.

Well positioned. Room was huge with an outside balcony that was also very large that overlooked the river. Awesome receptionist and friendly room staff. Only downside was extremely noisy neighbours and constant banging, maybe doors being slammed. Overall happy enough with our 2 night stay.

Upon arrival shown to a grubby room, trimmed hair still in bathroom, deck sticky and dirty from spilled drinks. Bathroom got cleaned, after we checked in,however deck didn't. Noisy as by intersection and lots of flashing Christmas lights, No microwave. A coffee plunger, no coffee or milk, took a day to get it. Not our first stay here & things have only got worse each time. I would say the last time staying here, my guest has booked in elsewhere for there next 3 days in Gisborne. Parking & central location the only positives we could find this visit

This hotel needs an urgent refurbishment. It is rundown, very dirty and the decor very dated. They do not even offer Breakfast. I will not recommend this hotel, nor would I stay there ever again.

Had a great time. Beautiful big room. Feedback 1. Took ages for shower to warm up and 2. No signal for the T.V. No phone in room to ring reception for help. Little things though which didn't take away much from overall experience. Highly recommend. Big shout out to Brooke the receptionist. Very friendly, courteous and professional.

Upon arrival, we had to wait nearly 20 min to check-in. We rang the hotel to find the on-duty receptionist, was away doing house keeping duties knbthe 2nd floor then went to freshen up before coming down which I understood. Rooms,, The 1st room, carpet not vacuumed properly, the net curtains are dirty, the window latches are broken, tv remote had flat batteries, dirty utensils and glassware and the carpet at the entrance to the bathroom was very wet. As a result, with no hesitation, the staff offered us another room. 2nd room. Cleaner net curtains but rips and tears, main curtains to big and heavy (full length, ceiling to floor, huge) to draw, window latches broken (one window was locked), dirty utensils and glassware again and the drainage in the bath was too slow, trying to shower, the bath filled quicker than it drained away, quite disgusting to be honest. The staff are very friendly and courteous.
