We were especially lucky to have a view of the New Years Day fireworks, on the "not scenic" side of the Hotel. Friendly staff and great location. Would recommend.

Our room overlooked the car park, the weather was awful and we could not open the ranchslider to let air in. There was no window... The room was clean and tidy.
Great location, friendly staff and comfortable rooms with a nice view. Very affordable also. We enjoyed our stay and will be back next time we visit Gisborne.
