Hotel on Devonport
Vehicle access to the building from the street is very tight if there are cars parked on the other side of the road from the entrance. I have quite a large vehicle and had to back /forward several times to get in - and nearly gave up.

Trinity Wharf Tauranga
This hotel is a little older-looking than the pictures. The room was dated. The view was stunning. The gym was well-equipped. The pool was nice, but again a little dated. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
