Would stay further out from airport
The hotel and parking were difficult to find/get to. I had a hard time getting someone to note a late check-in even though I called early in the day to give plenty of notice that we'd be a late arrival due to our ferry crossing. Despite our late arrival, there was no mention/offer of a late check out so we could actually get some sleep and the lights were weird and difficult to turn on/off in the room. I also got a bruise and 3 cuts from the bench in the room.

Nice with some exceptions
I guess they were busy over the holiday season - I was surprised that an airport hotel wouldn't have rooms ready and available pretty much around the clock. However, the nice man at the desk did finally manage me a room at 12 noon. I needed to be up at 4 am for my flight and had work to do before I went to bed early. Unfortunately, the room did not have a desk and there is no business center in the hotel - they suggested I could work in the restaurant; nowhere near ideal. Surprised me as one would guess there would be business travelers there frequently. Overall, though, my stay was pleasant enough.

We often stay at this hotel when we have early-morning flights as it's just a quick few steps from the hotel room to the airline check-in counters. You couldn't find a place more handy. This time, the woman at the reception desk was particularly welcoming and friendly; even finding me a toothbrush when I realised I'd left mine at home.

Very comfortable and convenient.
Was a very comfortable bed. I thought it would be a bit loud having the airport right there but didn’t hear a thing. The parking is a bit confusing. You need to park in the coloured parking building directly across from the hotel (pay reception $15) then you need them to validate your ticket each time you need to leave the parking. Also I Couldn’t for the life of me work out how to use the side table lamps?

Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel is very convenient if you are flying into or out of Wellington Airport. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was fine. The phone in the room was filthy - it looked like it had not been cleaned for a very long time ... there was no way I was putting it anywhere near my face!

Disappointment
Very disappointed that Whisky Lima Golf is Closed until further notice - this is the main drawer card for me when I stay. Menu isn’t as good, neither is the drinks menu. Info sheet still mentioned Whisky Lima Golf as being open. Also when a family roos is chosen at a significant cost of over $500 we would have expected more than a terminal roof roof view I think next time I’ll fly to Auckland and stay at a real hotel that doesn’t cheapen it like Rydges at the airport. Won’t be staying again - waste of Money and no reduction in tariff offered for a highly reduced service.

My all time to go for hotel when I have morning flight out of Wellington. There are ample amenities within the hotel since it is located inside the airport. Even with many luggages, one can go to the room easily via lift. Staff are friendly. Wifi is stable. Only thing is you need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. The rest of the amenities can be found within the room!
