The staff went over and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Service was exceptional and the room was absolutely clean, spacious and we had the perfect ocean side view. I will definitely come back here the next time I visit beautiful Napier. I will recommend this hotel to my friends and family.

Given a ground floor room with disability bathroom (not requested).
Room smelt damp and of curry (Indian restaurant next door). Looking a bit tired.
Only there for a one night stopover so no big deal.
Handy location and nice staff
