It's pretty amazing to see the Novotel looking so proud and refurbished after the earthquakes a few years back.
The room my friend and I stayed in with clean and warm. The rain shower was exquisite!
We had horrible weather and the reception staff found it difficult to contact the taxi service they had links with. The shuttle was also hard to get in touch with. One of the reception staff found us some abandoned umbrellas (Thanks, Bunnings!) for us to borrow whilst we explores the town.
One issue however, the Internet. For a hotel with such a standard, the cost of wifi was a bit surprising. I have stayed in Novotel hotels in Australia and Europe, and have not had to pay for Internet before. It was that little link to home that I wanted and I had to pay for it.
