I booked this for two reasons, on my return to Wellington I was travelling alone and I prefer self catering apartments for this purpose and the rate through Wotif was a knock out, 3 nights for $109 NZD for a 1 bed apartment. The unit was a good size for the living and sleeping area but the bathroom was very small.
On check in they were very concise, informing me that I had chosen the 3 night stay & save package that did not include housekeeping, this was perfectly appropriate, everything was great on arrival, the room very clean except for the bin in the kitchen that had not been emptied during servicing. I called Reception and the agent came straight up to empty the bin and automatically offered a room change, which I didn't want as I was in the middle of unpacking and it was just a bin that hadn't been emptied and she also noted that I was on a package that did not include housekeeping, but she said due to the inconvenience if I needed anything it could be looked at and she would advise the other reception staff of the incident.
The downside was that the bedroom had very little hanging space in a very small wardrobe and if you were staying here long term on business it would be frustrating.
The kitchenette was very well equiped, but you can tell a man designed the kitchenette that has never washed dishes, there is no place to let dishes drain after you wash them, so after washing up, you have to quickley mop up the bench top.
The fire sprinkler in the bderoom was very crudely cut out of the plasterboard, it should have been better finished.
I stayed in room 506, which was located at the rear side of the building, there is no view in this part of Willis st to seek out so it was perfectly quiet and would happily stay in this apartment again, the views from this apartment were of a very ordinary apartment block, but it was so quiet, I loved it just for that and it was a short stroll around the corner to all that Cuba st has to offer and not that far away from Courtney st for restaurants and entertainment as well as the harbourside, all up it was a very pleasant stay and I would stay here again
