Oaks Wellington Hotel
"Super friendly staff. And was surprised to walk in to a birthday surprise from the hotel which was such a nice and thoughtful touch. Spacious room and great location in CBD. If you use their parking bear in mind that is very tight, so if you have a large car just be mindful."
