James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

Great location. Easy to arrive by car (as long as you get in the middle lane then you can drive straight in) Valet parking worked well, however, it seemed expensive at $30. a day. The room was big and the bed comfortable. The shower could use an update but definitely useable. There is an elevator that takes you down to waterfront level which makes going and coming easy. We walked all over- to Mt. Victoria Lookout, up the Cable Car and then walked down to the waterfront. Visited the Te Papa Museum which is free. Tried various beers at the local breweries and ate dinner twice at the Crab Shack on the Waterfront.

How central the Hotel was to everything, cleanliness of the hotel.

There was nothing that we did not like.

Everything was great!! Beds comfortable, staff friendly and helpful, location great and parking on site (at extra cost). Fridge was small for the food we took with us but we made it fit.

Less drinks in the fridge as more can always be stocked if more is needed. This way we can store our drinks & food.
