InterContinental Wellington by IHG

ibis Wellington
"While it is understandable for the rates to be high as it was a WOW show weekend, it's hard to understand how the hotel can just let itself go in terms of maintenance and facilities. It is time for Accor to consider a refurbishment; everything is looking run down."
