Very disappointing stay
The hotel is badly in need of a total makeover we got upgraded to a suite as they don’t do breakfast anymore the suite is furnished in a mish mash of very old tired furniture there were plastic flowers in the room!! The TV didn’t work and because we only discovered this late in the evening there was nobody to contact . Tried to use an iron and it was unusable due to the dirt on it the shower turned suddenly cold after a number of minutes all in all a disappointing stay however the staff were very helpful but management need to look at the accommodation they are providing particularly as after 5 weeks in New Zealand it was our last night and the most expensive !!
