Great location in the heart of Ponsonby. Walking distance to shops and eateries. Clean and tidy - lovely staff.
One negative - too much air freshener in the reception area.

The staff were courteous tho there was an issue registering a credit card which was no problem elsewhere
Bed was comfortable 😌
