Rooms were hit and miss.
Stayed 2 nights one on either end of our trip to the South Island. First night the room was quite nice, reasonable condition and we were quite happy with it. Final night we were pour into what I am sure is part of a conference room, beds had no headboards but were just pushed up against the door meaning door knob was right above ones head. Bathrooms were a bit tired and carpets and furnishings had several stains.
On a good note bed was more comfortable on that second stay.
