I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the location was quite convenient, allowing easy access to various attractions. However, the breakfast options were rather limited, and the overall service could have been improved. For the price, it felt like there were some missed opportunities to enhance the guest experience.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the beds were super comfy and the atmosphere was quiet, I had issues with the room's cleanliness and maintenance.

The hotel is located in a convenient and central area, making it easy to get around town. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with great amenities, although the cleanliness could use a bit more attention.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is located centrally and just a short walk from Caroline Bay, where many of Timaru's attractions are. The rooms were comfortable but dated, and I found the light seeping in from the corridor to be a bit disturbing at night. The service was quite good, and the staff were friendly throughout my visit. Unfortunately, the breakfast options were somewhat lacking, but the facilities, including the gym, were decent.

The rooms are amazing, but I found them a bit dusty, which made for some sneezing at night. While the service was decent, it could use a little more efficiency, especially during busy times. Overall, it's a solid choice, but a few improvements would make it fantastic.

However, the rooms left much to be desired, feeling outdated and lacking basic features like window locks. The service was decent, but I had a few issues with the dining options. Overall, it's a convenient place to stay, but improvements are definitely needed in the rooms and dining.

The hotel is conveniently located near the bay and town center, making it easy to explore local restaurants. While my room was modern and had a nice balcony, the noise from the busy highway was quite disruptive, and the cleanliness could have been better. The dining options were limited and not very satisfying, which was disappointing. Overall, for the price, it's decent but not ideal in some areas.
