On the positive side, it is spacious, with 20' ceilings and has a new washer/ dryer. The rest of this review all fits into the negative category. This property is sorely in need of refurbishing. The furniture looks like it was purchased from a second hand store twenty years ago. The "decor" is non- existent. There is one piece of "art" and no color, other than dirty beige and gray. The lighting is very dim, like a third world country. The only place you can see to read is in bed, where there's a light on the wall above the bed. The windows and door to the balcony are filthy, as is the balcony itself. The balcony has 2 simple chairs (one needing repair) and it overlooks rooftops of the buildings next door. The other side of the building is an open pit that is under construction (with accompanying noise). The location on Courtenay Place puts it in central Wellington and is easy walking distance to everything in the CBD. Unlike Cuba Street, which is funky and fun, Courtenay Place has a sleazy feeling. While the kitchen and bathroom both function, the whole place needs a remodeling to make it worth the price being charged.

Room was not ready on time. Promises not kept. 15min... then 20min... then 30min... etc... Management not available when required. Changed the story of what really happened, and tried to blame me? Unwilling to compensate client. Not very accommodating. They made me wait an hour before I was able to clean my ostomy bag. No communication to say the room would not be ready on time.

This stay was a bad experience. 2 of our family group of 5 walked out and booked other accommodation. The place smelt bad with lots of dust buildup on the ceiling rafters. The lounge was a filthy disgrace not fit for a dog. The beds and kitchen/bathrooms were adequate. The best part was leaving and puting it behind us. Our travel agent was so informed and advised not to recommend this place. 3 Star? I wouldn`t give it a 2.
