Very convenient access to downtown Wellington and staff provided a map to guide us to a shortcut to Lambton Quay. The room was comfortable, very clean, and had a combination washer/dryer and small kitchenette for making a simple meal. Handy, free onsite parking and friendly staff.

Great location, walking distance to restaurants and attractions which were nearby. Spacious rooms and living areas. Off-site parking nearby and reasonably priced. Drop off luggage and then park off site is not an inconvenience at all.
