James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor
"Property was good for something reasonably cheap to sleep in a comfy clean room and bed. Breakfast extremely average. Coffee was horrible thankful to have only stayed 1 night simply because we got in on a the late flight and didn't get to the hotel until 2am and checking out 9hrs later."

Rydges Wellington Airport
"Excellent hotel when visiting Wellington for overnighter or short term visitors. Caution use Uber if staying in this hotel to explore the Central Business District. Taxis can get as high as triple the price of an Uber ride same distance. The airport is literally on the same building, very convenient. ..."
