Hotel on Devonport

Trinity Wharf Tauranga
"We stayed 4 nights during AIMS games. Clean, modern hotel. The bed was so comfortable, the floor heating in bathroom was amazing ! Good room service. The swimming pool is small and not heated so you can’t use it unless it’s summer. Not smart TV in room, you can’t watch or stream. Parking is tight ..."
