Worse hotel ive ever stayed at. Wifi is broken and front desk has no answers, tv isnt functioning (no remote and no channels working), front desk isnt staffed (random people keep go behind the counter), stuff doesnt have answers to anything. No iron in the room, fridge had drinks left from other people. Incredibly noisy, music blasting outside, people yelling.

Nice rest stop
Had an early flight over from AITUTAKI on a Sunday. Instead of sitting for many hours between flights in the airport, I booked a room so I could relax and freshen up before my midnight flight! One thing though, they shouldn’t have tvs if they don’t work.
