Its location near Ahuriri Beach is a distinct advantage, and the attentive staff clearly aim to create memorable experiences; however, some rooms in the older building may feel less fresh than others. Overall, it's a solid option for those drawn to Napier's unique heritage, provided you manage your expectations regarding room type.”
