Lower Hutt Holidays from NZ$507

This proved a good choice for easy parking and closeness to the centre of Wellington for exploring on foot.

Staff are young trainees and very lovely - I felt sorry for them. Our room: Single Glazed and very noisy from street below, especially when the homeless hangout down the street at the DayNight convenience shop at night. Room was dated and scruffy, needs refurbishing. Dirty occasional chairs, filthy dining chairs! Dirty carpet. Shower was out of control and impossible to shower with out water going all over the floor. Bathroom sink was good but was scared the faucet would come loose. Bedroom TV did not work, no maintenance over the weekend. Not all power outlets worked, NO AIR CON! They brought us up a couple of fans. GOOD PARTs: 2 things: All staff we met were very lovely and did their best to keep guests happy. They are this hotel's biggest asset! There was a large earthquake in the middle of the night and neither of us felt it! Pretty good since I used to live here and even a small shake usually has me holding my breath!

Pros: Good location. Clean. Helpful staff. Daily complimentary coffee, tea, snacks. Daily chocolate delivered to room. Cons: Property a bit dated. Dark decor not for everyone’s taste. No safe in the room. Any cons, though, were offset by the friendliness and willingness of the staff and the services provided by the hotel. Overall, a quiet and comfortable stay in a good location.
