I was in a desperate situation because I had forgotten to find a place to stay the last night in NZ and was leaving very early in the morning for the airport and this place was very close. So for that purpose, it is a very convenient location, just 9 minutes to the airport. The room is really tiny and the bed very very old and uncomfortable. I haven't slept on a mattress that has springs poking through in quite awhile. Also, there is no TV in the room:( So for me, the accommodation wasn't what I would normally be happy with. That being said, Sue was very sweet and flexible with our late arrival.
