My stay at this hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were well-decorated and comfortable, even though I was initially worried about the size of my compact room. The location was very convenient for my work in the Pukekhoe area, with plenty of amenities nearby, but it was a bit noisy at night. I appreciated the free coffee and snacks available, which added a nice touch. However, the dining options were limited. Overall, it was good value for money, but not perfect.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located close to family activities, but be prepared for a lot of noise from the main street and nearby railway. The rooms were okay but could use some updates for better comfort and layout. The service staff were pleasant and helpful, making my experience enjoyable despite the noisy surroundings. Overall, it was good value for the price, although improvements could be made in several areas.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is convenient, especially for attending events in the area, but it can be quite noisy, being right on the main street. The rooms were a bit tricky with the air conditioning and not the coolest during my stay, which was a downside.

The hotel is perfectly situated, making it easy for me to attend a family 21st birthday celebration nearby. The rooms were compact but provided what I needed, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. On the downside, I was above a band playing at night which made it a bit difficult to relax. Overall, for the price, I found it to be a good value for money considering the location and comfort.

My stay at the hotel had both ups and downs. The location is great, being close to family, and there are some snack options available. However, the noise from the street and trains was quite disruptive at night. While the rooms were reasonably comfortable for a short stay, they are definitely on the smaller side. Overall, it was decent value for the price, but the noise made it less ideal.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the rooms were clean, and the air conditioning worked well which was great considering the heat outside.

The staff were friendly, making my stay a little more pleasant despite the disturbances.

I had a somewhat mixed experience at this hotel. The location is convenient if you're working in the Pukekoe area, but it can get very noisy at night due to a nearby pub with live music. The rooms were on the warm side and I found the air conditioning a bit tricky to adjust. The hotel offers decent amenities, but the noise could be a dealbreaker for light sleepers.
