Really nice hotel in Hamilton. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the staff were great. Within walking distance of lots of great restaurants. Our only complaint was the parking -- we were unable to use any of the parking spots allocated to the hotel, and instead had to find street parking (which was often also full). Other than the difficult parking, we'd definitely consider staying here again!

Terrific stay, restaurant was the best good we had in NZ. Staff and service again excellent. Self service laundry facilities also available. Only slight disappointment is the lack of parking availability, but understandable given inner-city location. Highly recommend this hotel in Hamilton.
