three staff standing behind the counter but i was directed to a kiosk to check in. not welcoming at all and to be honest soured my experience overall.
i didn't realize that there was a rail yard behind the hotel - very noisy, especially at night.
not much in the way of restaurants nearby except for a Vietnamese which was closed.
room was ok but easy to hear outside noises and conversations / tv from other rooms.
wouldnt stay again at this hotel and would be reluctant to stay at a sebel in the future.

Sebel Thorndon
Sebel Thorndon great location to catch the ferry to Picton in the morning. No need for a restaurant due to just needing a bed to stay and parking for our car. Disappointed we could have parked for free on the road and paid $30 for hotel parking (check time restrictions). Bed, king size pillows, so comfortable, great shower and products. Bonus was the coffee machine. Hotel is well appointed, we highly recommend.
