I found this hotel on *********** under the name of Albert Accommodation but it turned out to be named Bliss Accommodation. I chose to pay a bit more, NZ$106, for a Deluxe Queen room with a kitchenette. On arrival there is no reception but a person in the laundry hub pointed out a paper note on the Bliss Accommodation door giving a pen scrawled mobile phone number to phone. This resulted in a request to go back up the driveway to the adjoining cafe/bar. There I had to wait 10 minutes until someone arrived to photo my ID [driving licence] and take my money [Surcharge for using a credit card]. Back down the drive and using an entry card I was in. No lift and 3 flights of steps to my room. Into the room. The kitchenette was a kettle, crockery, cutlery, a tea towel, tea, coffee and sugar and a fridge. No microwave as seen on the photo and no milk, no dish wash liquid. The room ws clean though the whole hotel had an aroma of perfume/incense which I found mildly unpleasant. The bed was very comfortable and the linen very clean. the off switch to turn off the light from the bed was a very long stretch but saved walking back to the light switch at the entry door. I slept well that night. Good TV and air heat pump heater/AC which I did not have to use. Clean towels in the small bathroom, toilet paper incredibly thin. Nice shower cubicle but after initially setting the temperature there was a fluctuation from scalding hot to cold - surely a safety hazard. Next morning I needed to hand back the entry cards. Back to the Cafe/bar up the drive. I was told to go to the Indian pastry/sweet shop where I handed in the cards after a long wait on customers buying pastries. It was OK for 1 night at a reasonable price but I would not return.
