This is a Travelodge, but not as we know them in England. The premises are new, and not built to a corporate formula but to suit the location. My room was superbly equipped and maintained, and with a stunning harbour view. Reception, and all the staff I encountered, were excellent too. The hotel is quiet even though it is only about 50 yards from Wellington's premier shopping street, and that is where you should go for a pleasant dining experience. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the restaurant or its food, but I would only rate it as an "adequate cafe". If you want ambience, menu choice, and high quality then dine out. It's there because it has to be, for a quick bite before you do something else. I would happily return to Wellington Travelodge without considering anywhere else.
