Wow!

Wow!
We drove along the coast from the north to the south. We arrived at the Holiday Inn Friday afternoon and checked in. Monika was the front desk clerk all three days and was VERY helpful. Our room for the three nights was perfect, very modern with great heaters. The food in the restaurant is very good and reasonably priced for the area/country. The breakfast buffet was very good. ALL the staff is kind and helpful. Parking was great, we had a rental. We chose to book a ride on the shuttle provided by the hotel on an hourly basis instead of driving to the city center. Shuttle runs on the hour and you just have to book a ride back before you go or call the hotel to book it. It was quick, convenient & easy. I would absolutely stay here again if I were to come back to New Zealand. Really impressed with the staff, their professionalism and kindness. If you re considering staying here, book it, you will not regret it!
