I rather think the Shakespeare hotel is relying on the building having been designated to be of historical interest.
Yes, the staircase, as seen in the description of the hotel, is lovely, well would be if it was varnished once in a while, the carpet is worn and very grubby.
Our room should have been spectacular, having twin aspects, but only one out of 3 windows could be seen through, due to broken (not recently I would suggest) blinds.
We could not keep the sash windows open as the bolts to enable this, were bent and unusable.
The wash hand basin had an impressive crack in it.
On check in. I was told a 300$NZ, bond (larger than most) would be held on my card against my damaging the room during my stay.
Obviously I took photographs and spoke to the man behind the bar of the very busy pub,(there is no reception). He tried to persuade me it was because the building was old and repairs difficult to facilitate and took time to fix. I pointed out that this was damage, buy not MY damage.
The bar and restaurant were both extremely busy during our stay, so I couldn't help wonder why the hotel part was so run down.
It was very local, close to the harbour and the Intercity buses.
