1 bdrm located in the carpark area Location was very handy to where we needed to be Room was right by the road so very noisy Stayed 3 nights and could not get a wifi connection the entire stay only 1 tv was usable as the other would not connect Light in main area was flickering and coming away from ceiling. Asked to change rooms on day 2 to be basically be told no....was happy to pay the difference apparently no rooms available however I did go online and was able to see i could book a different room and there was availability Lady at reception was dismissive saying she would let me know but never made the effort to get back to me Room did have a smell which I suspect is because there are no fans in the room either in the kitchen area or bathroom. Will probably search for another option next time we are in Napier.
