Naumi Hotel Wellington
Te Aro
per person
Sep 6 - Sep 7

Roundtrip flight included
Detroit (DTW) to Wellington (WLG)
8.8/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)
From a superficial view the hotel was amazing. However, the cups in the cupboard had not been washed, the shower did not have proper seals which made the bathroom floor get wet easily. The lights system sometimes worked and sometimes did not. The beds were very easily moveable which made them separate from the bed head easily while sleep or sitting on the bed. The positive is how amazing the staff are and the attitude they bring to their work every day
