We did not get the room we booked but it was adequate for the two nights. The front desk ladies were friendly and helpful. It is a convenient location to downtown Blenheim.

Bed was very soft - too soft for my liking
Would have been good to have a drop box for keys when leaving early
Warned that pub next door can get very rowdy but was quiet on Monday night so all good
