Top Dowse Art Museum Hotel Reviews

Carnmore Hotel Lower Hutt

10/10 Excellent

"Well situated for us and very close to the coast."

Quest Petone

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend"

Motel 22

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and clean room"

The Sebel Wellington Lower Hutt

8/10 Good

"Clean, dining option was great"

Midway Pacifica Lodge

8/10 Good

Settlers Motor Lodge

8/10 Good

"Things that the great cleaning staff would not have reason to notice: The TV had no sound on "Live TV" (freeview) so it was not worth watching the news or weather forcast as we wanted. We tried every button we could try on the remote but could not get any sound for Live TV. And many of the other apps supplied (Netflix, Prime, Disney, etc) needed a sign-in so no use to us. That said, we did manage to find a suitable movie to watch - with sound. Other observations: The light over the mirror in the bathroom was very faint - great for toileting (without blinding us) in the middle of the night. But hopeless for applying make-up, even in the daylight of morning. Also there was no hairdryer - just on the weekend that we forgot to bring out own as we usually do. And while we had enough light for what we needed, the main light in the middle of the room was not working. All of that said, value for price was excellent for us. We would certainly return if we had a need for accomodation in the area."

BKs Premier Motel Esplanade

10/10 Excellent

"A great hotel for family stays, the room was perfect with separate bedroom with 2 single beds for our kids and enough of a kitchen to satisfy our needs. The hotel is quiet and well located just off the end of the Petone restaurant strip and across the road from the beach."

Camellia Court Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was big, clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly. Best place I've stayed for the price recently."

Boulcott Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"
