On transit to the South Island with my son, just needed a cheap stay in Wellington overnight.
Although not exactly as described, for the price it was what I would expect.
Our room was a small but adequate twin room. On the road side so very noisy. I wouldn't recommend this room if you are not used to noise, or so dead tired that it doesn't affect you (that was us after a drive from Aucks).
shared bathroom which wasn't a problem. very clean and tidy, and a great shower with shampoo, body wash, hairdryer, towels, and bathmats provided. The bath also with a hand-held shower attachment - handy for small children.
we didn't have too much luggage as we were able to keep everything in the car downstairs. but if you have a lot of luggage, the stairwell is narrow and no lift.
PJ, whom I booked through, was very courteous and helpful. The room I wanted wasn't available, but the room we got met our requirements for the night, including a parking space right outside, twin beds, and a late checkout.
Internet is included but a bit hit and miss in our room. there was a small desk where i could do a bit of work on laptop. Beds where extremely comfortable. I had a fantastic sleep, despite the noise and Wellington council emptying the bins at 4am.
It's very central and was an easy walk to all restaurants and an after-dinner stroll along the wharf front.
If it's a cheap quick stay you are looking for then this is a good option. We had a small room with only a jug and a small fridge and tv, but there are lots of options to choose from for larger families / Groups.
very well run and communication from PJ and the team was great. Thanks Guys. Highly recommend for the price.
Update: Just a word of caution, there is a lot of activity around this area day and night (as it is very inner city) if you are parking in the area, it pays to take ALL of your valuables out of your vehicle. We had an incident and no one could provide us with any "useable" or good quality CCTV, even though their are cameras in the street and around the hotel.
