Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
I'll start by saying that the staff were fantastic, all kind and courteous. The room was fine, just a typical room. However, the pretty basic food, especially breakfast, was fairly over priced. $30 for some eggs, meat, and toast. Then, we attempted to do laundry late in the evening, which required coins. We tried to exchange paper for coins and were told we had to walk to a shop down the road to do that. After doing that, we wash our laundry and flip it to the dryer. The dryer did nothing to dry the clothes, I changed the setting assuming ot was my own mistake. It was still wet after another 45 minute cycle. Now were $6 into just drying the clothes, which somehow came out even more wet after a 3rd attempt! To which the staff could do nothing and we were left with a bag of wet clothes at 230am. So, be prepared with coins and make sure you have extra time if the dryer is malfunctioning.

Tried to check in with our friends at 1:30pm but only 1 of the 3 rooms were ready, which was fine. But when we returned later we were asked to pay a bond. Our friends hadnt & we have stayed at the Bay Plaza many times & never paid a bond on a prepaid room.

Property is old and needs refurbishment, no aircon, it would be very hot in summer, bathroom very small, but loved the shower, my view was amazing, car parking was excellent, staff were very accomodating and willing to help, location is great, close to eateries, New World supermarket, and a short walk to oriental bay beach, and close to Te Papa and Conference centre, I would stay again because of room rate and location.

People at reception were really nice and helpful. Room was okay overall. Coffee and teas. No milk. Good bathroom and very nice shower. Tv didn’t work, wouldn’t connect to internet. Heating is an old fashion radiator so a kind of all or nothing scenario. We had to open the windows to have a medium temperature. Bed was good enough. I did expect a little more for the price but i guess we paid for the view which was really great.

The room was quite small, but perfect for a single person, and the rate was excellent. The desk and restaurant staff were all friendly and professional. I was able to walk to Te Papa and Circa Theatre which was the purpose of my stay and Bay Plaza was the ideal location at a good price.

The noise from adjoining rooms was unbearable. We could hear every word said and the noise from the television was louder than the one in our room. Room service was non existent until I asked for it late in the evening. It is hard to use your rating above as your staff were great but your processes and the very tired decor left a lot to be desired. I will never return or recommend your services.
