This hotel boasts an impressive exterior but lacks the luxury associated with its presence . The rooms are fine if awkward. There is no porter or elevator, so you have to lug your bags up the stairs. The floor constantly changes with slopes and ramps, and there's a funky step up from your bedroom into the bathroom. Hot and cold taps are reversed and take hefty tightening to avoid dripping sounds at night. The bar says it's "open late" but everything was locked up tight by 8pm. Breakfast was decent but served in a jungle-themed room crankng out 80s rock. Those of you who want to sleep in should be aware that the cleaning staff has a boom box playing similar music in the hallway while they're working. Parking is free, but downtown Blenheim is dead at night. The hotel itself faces out to a couple of empty storefronts and a bank. So, with no bar, no downtown activity, and relatively few rooms, you can get a decent night's sleep, but little else.
