Undergoing renovations. Gym opens at 7am which is not ideal when you are travelling on business. Otherwise fine.

I like its cleanliness. I am not used to the shower head being fixed.
Good location as close to CBD.
Recently renovated room with large viewing window. Great view of Palmerston North.
Heat pump also installed. Instructions needed for heat pump operation.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Shower mat needed as floor very slippery.
Rooms excellent, all fresh and new, great bigger than king-size bed. Restaurant staff were wonderful, meals great. Why is a decent coffee extra at breakfast? We dislike coffee from urns. Cereal bowls toooooo small.
A big thank you to the staff for wonderful service in what must still be trying conditions as outside of building is maintained and repainted. Bonus is that work men only start at 9am. No doubt grounds and road markings will be redone after work on building completed.
Arived for 2 pm booking room not ready till 3..
Went for a drink no Coca-Cola as a mixer
Order the advertised coffee and muffins...no muffins.
Drink bar unattended
Had to look for staff on several occasions.
Looked out window to see nothing but scaffolding.
Very disappointed would never recommend.
