"Property was incredibly well kept and clean, as were the rooms upon entering. We loved how they had options to skip room cleaning and donate towards Kiwi birds instead. The gym and pool were your typical hotel ammenities but were kept in top condition. The elevators were very fast, check in/out was a breeze with knowledgeable and staff. We opted to include lounge access which was a bit underwhelming - there were limited snack options throughout the day. We did enjoy the cocktail/drink hours from 5-7 - both bartenders made amazing drinks and were very kind. Overall a really good stay at the hotel."
