I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. I booked the room one day in advance through the Expedia app, where it was clearly mentioned that air-conditioning was included. However, when I arrived, there was no air conditioner in the room—only a heater, which made it very uncomfortable as the room became quite warm.

The biggest issue was that the room had a very unpleasant smell, which made the stay even worse. Additionally, the TV remote was missing from the room. I tried calling reception using the telephone provided, but it was not working and the call did not go through.

On the positive side, the staff was okay and the rest of the hotel was fine. However, the room condition, especially the smell, lack of air-conditioning, and missing basic facilities, really affected my experience.

Needs a refurb

Hadn't stayed there for years so it was a bit of a surprise to see how it's aged. The rooms are quite dark and no Aircon. Rooms on the road side are traffic noisy so beware. Beds are comfy.
The food is pretty good and the staff helpful and it's catering more for the regularly tradies who stay there than holiday travellers

Good and quiet location. The facility itself is aging and out of date, our room is downstairs and smells old and dampness, the bathroom don’t have space to put your Toiletrie. The small Air con is not making cool airs, guess it’s just a heater looks like air con, they do have a free standing fan provided, but just not enough for a summer night, we downstairs can’t open windows for safety reasons at night make this worse. We paid 240 for a night during the busy new year eve period, not worth it. The staff is friendly though.

Hotel is quite dated, but has been well preserved!! It is kept up very well. The restaurant is very nice with reasonable pricing and a fair amount of selections. The morning was missing eggs during my stay. That is a staple for me. So I chose not to spend the buffet price for mostly things I preferred it to have. Would be nice to see the hotel incest in some upgrades to keep it self appealing. An enclosed/ heated pool would be wonderful. Also more entertainment /media choices for the rooms. Providing hdmi inputs or airplay devices for those bringing their own media to link into the hotels tv’s would also be nice. These type things would take the then quality of stay up another level. Not a bad stay at all, but could easily take it to the next level. FYI: the pricing was great!!

Booked an 'Executive suite', which kept us amused during our stay...'Executive suite' has a balcony.....The balcony is shared with multiple rooms and overlooked a piece of grass and the main road. Two chairs, no table....no air conditioning but a loud fan if you want it...the upstairs room is accessed by a concrete stairwell (no lift)....On a plus note the staff were very friendly and it was a 10 minute walk to the 'Basin where there are some excellent restaurants...Poor nights sleep as a lot of road noise coupled with no double glazing....Room was clean. Didn't use the pool or food facilities but they where there if you wanted them.

This hotel is an older property in Whangarei. But it's restaurants been updated and offers a great selection of food choices. The restaurant is well worth a visit alone. But the room was lacking. The heater was inefficient to heat the room. None of the rooms offer a tub, only showers. And the vanity in the bathroom was small. I was unable to fill the provided kettle, from the vanity. I had to take it to the front desk order Mohave it filled. Clearly the rooms need some updating. Otherwise, a pleasant stay in a convenient, quiet area of Whangarei.

The room was clean and spacious with a lovely outlook from the top balcony to the bushland opposite. It is handy having the restaurant on the premises. It would be helpful if the advertising stated it was two story because part of our criteria was we wanted single story as we have challenges with climbing stairs - and then we could have requested the bottom floor.
