Top hotels in Trentham
James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor
Loved everything about the stay. Only problem I had... we didn't know about the James Cook Arcade lift to take you up to the hotel. So we walked all the way around the loop with our luggage. I am 75 and it was a bit tough.

ibis Wellington
Everything was pretty good. Only inconvenience was having a room for two with only one chair at the desk. Tv was outdated and couldn't connect to apps. Minor things in the grand scheme of life

Gilmer Apartment Hotel
Good basic accommodation. The property is down a steep dead end lane way with limited parking. Facilities and furniture is average but has a clothes washer & dryer. Beds were clean and comfortable.
