Comfortable stay

Great service from Caroline on the front desk. Our room was ample and comfortable for our two night stay. Free parking was a bonus. EV charger available, too. There was a strange buzzing sound in the first room we were given, which would have kept us awake, so we were glad to be moved to a quieter room on the ground floor. I would stay here again when in Blenheim.

mediocre hotel, great staff

Not a great deal of choice in Blenheim, stayed here pre covid was good, the staff at front desk are super friendly - great. The place is very old, i got the best room on the 2nd level but its just not that good. Old and tired, old decor. needs $$ spent on it. Weird sloping windows up high so felt a bit like a jail.
