Swiss-Belhotel Napier
The room was spacious, and the bed was comfortably sized for two people. However, the parking charges were slightly expensive compared to other accommodations I stayed at during my 19-day road trip across the North Island. Overall is good !!

Expressotel
The room and staff were amazing, the location to the shops and restaurants was excellant, most in walking distance. The parking was a little chaotic, large vehicles prevented the use of some of the free spaces. Otherwise, I'd stay again.
