Rydges Wellington Airport
Nice stay. Lights were back to front, on was off and off was on. Fridge ended up turning off during the night so woke up to warm drinks. Otherwise friendly staff, good location if flying by plane. Would still recommend.

Gilmer Apartment Hotel
Everything was clean and comfortable. Washer/Dryer had a button that didn’t work, so the setting we were instructed to use wouldn’t work. Everything else was great!

Bolton Hotel
Really nice hotel. Staff very helpful and welcoming. Good Location, city is very walkable if you like walking. Bed was two single mattresses which was the only small disappointment for a nicer hotel.
