The one that has been on a short road trip and staying at commercial accommodation along the way. The blog is, Oswald Bastable's Ranting and the writer has been described as a 'Surly Curmudgeon', by those who meet him on a good day and having a poor regard for the human species, in general.
Yeah him!
Well, Mr Bastable has visited Napier and has commented about his views on the accommodation establishment he stayed in.
In fact, he stayed in the same establishment that appeared in our post HERE
I am pleased to report that my visit to Napier itself was entirely satisfactory.Phew!
Our hotel, The Tennyson Motor Inn, was comfortable, very well priced ($139 for a premium suite) and located right in the CBD next to a park and in the same block as numerous cafes, bars and eateries. The top shelf of the bar was well-stocked with excellent whiskeys (obviously another fan of Islay was involved here) and there was a good selection of local brews at very good prices. All the staff were most friendly and helpful. Obviously owner-operators.
Good on the new owners of the Tennyson that have recently taken over and are obviously injecting their own positive personality into this well established business. Well done!
