The location was amazing! Within a couple blocks you have the harbor or the beachfront; a few blocks down is a lovely park, lots of restaurants and shopping. Mt Maunganui hot pools and the mountain itself are right on your doorstep.
Our room was large, great balcony, bathroom, and kitchen.
I found that the front desk is not always manned, which is sometimes inconvenient. The drain in the shower was also a bit slow.
