6/10
The staff were very friendly and the room was fine with everything we needed. However, it was quite noisy all through the night, partly due to a noisy fridge in the room but also from the the noisy traffic. Probably not a problem if you're a heavy sleeper.

Hobson’s Choice is where I stay when I have to overnight in Dargaville as they have kept up their standards over the years. Each time I am there they have some small improvement and this time it was a heat pump in the room.
