James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor
Loved everything about the stay. Only problem I had... we didn't know about the James Cook Arcade lift to take you up to the hotel. So we walked all the way around the loop with our luggage. I am 75 and it was a bit tough.

Rydges Wellington Airport
The room was clean, the staff was great, the food was overpriced, and the room amenities were the worst part. The shower was poor too. The toilet didn't flush correctly either. For the price they charge per room they should be providing much more. I will not be staying here again.

Gilmer Apartment Hotel
Good basic accommodation. The property is down a steep dead end lane way with limited parking. Facilities and furniture is average but has a clothes washer & dryer. Beds were clean and comfortable.
