An excellent stay
Booked the suite for our wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed but actually pleasantly surprised.
From the valet parking service to the lightning fast check-in; the chocolate hour at the lobby to the excellent dinner at the restaurant. The classy accommodation and amenities, the facilities such as the swimming pool, sauna, and gym. All in all, I can't fault the place, the team, nor the quality.
During check-in, the reception team casually asked what brought us to town and I mentioned that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. Next thing we know, the restaurant team bringing complementary desserts with 'Happy anniversary' written in chocolate to finish off our excellent dinner that night. Truly thoughtful and completely took us by surprise. Thank you Team!
If there is ONE thing that I would mention which may be considered 'against' staying at the Movenpick then it would be it's rather 'far' from the CBD; and while the almost 1.5Km walk to Lambton Quay is certainly doable, factor in the walk back, walking or heading to certain places within the CBD, and carrying shopping back and some people may find the distance a bit too much for their liking. A car should remedy this nicely though.
Certainly the place to stay whenever we're in town again
Zaid, 1-night trip
