( 07-577 1480; www.citysuites.co.nz ; 32 Cameron Rd; r from $155; ) The spacious rooms here (all
with either terrace or balcony) have a rather regal feel, with king-sized beds and full kit-
chens. A swimming pool, free wi-fi and secure parking complete the list of essentials for
wandering business bods.
Ambassador Motor Inn
( 0800 735 294, 07-578 5665; www.ambassador-motorinn.co.nz ; 9 Fifteenth Ave; d/f from $110/175; )
This tidy motel on the edge of town has noise-reducing glass for peaceful sleeps. Some
rooms have spa baths; all have kitchen facilities. It's not overtly ambassadorial and a bit
out of the way, but it's spotlessly clean and the new owners are keen to make a good im-
pression.
