New Plymouth

Located in New Plymouth town centre, King and Queen Hotel Suites offer luxurious accommodation with free Wi-Fi and a 42-inch plasma TV with cable channels. The property is within 5 minutes’ walk of shops, cafés and restaurants and opposite to the Len Lye / Govett Brewster Art Gallery The woman at the front desk was lovely and professional. She couldn't do more to make sure we had enjoyed our stay. The unit was roomy with everything you could ask for. I thought I had left something behind and rang the hotel to enquire...again the young lady couldn't do enough to help.
