Arrived in Napier later in the day and was drawn to stay here so we tried to book direct online and ended up frustrated as the day/month reverted to US geared month/day. So we used another service to book expecting the noted ‘free car parking’. On arrival the receptionist told us that no longer applied (due to not booking direct) and a charge would apply ($11/overnight). The room was OK - for price paid it would be nice to be supplied shower cap (in room) and an actual information booklet (in room) regarding local services/attractions/dining options. The Wi-Fi password provided didn’t work (even when receptionist offered another network to access). Additional to that I had an interesting night…thought there was a presence (friendly male) in the room /kept smelling tobacco or smoke smell in the bathroom, hearing music…not the usual experience as it were. Only after I left did I decide to do some online research and was honestly fascinated. Hopefully management embrace the energy that clearly has a strong connection here and treat it with the respect that is deserved. Not all guests will sense what came through on our stay but don’t ignore those who do. Such potential to be exceptional if managed respectfully. Strongly sense we were ‘pulled in’ to stay in the room we did. Would like to rate so much higher as you can offer so much more quite easily via a few minor adjustments. Totally understand wanting to channel the attraction away from certain things…but you can certainly offer something that just needs acknowledgment rather...

Normally, I really can't be bothered about character, as long as a hotel is clean, comfortable, spacious and has great facilities in the room, we're pretty happy. The Art Deco Masonic Hotel on the other hand, hit "character" out of the ballpark. We booked 2 rooms due to our family size and we were intrigued by how each room had a different theme! It's so suitable to beautiful Napier, which is a very nice little "Broadway"-ish and artsy town. In short, the hotel was really classy and is brimming with character. The amenities in the hotel were great.

The reception is friendly and helpful, and when we entered the hotel, it feels like we're in, for lack of a better description, a classic American hotel run by Frank Sinatra or something like that! We felt welcome in the hotel. The fact the hotel also provides a place to park is a big bonus.

The hotel is effectively situated in Napier city itself, so walking out of the hotel, we could go to the pretty new-looking Museum next door, or just walk around the city to shops and places to eat (there are many to choose from!), or just walk out to the seaside and enjoy the breezy stroll. The main street itself has lots of things to see, because Napier simply oozes character. It was a highlight of our entire holiday.

Without a doubt, we'll return to this hotel when we come back to Napier. Highly...
