Personally, I don't think they were ready to open; but rushed through it because they didn't want to have to do another delay. They had two delays, the first grand opening was on June 18, then moved to June 25, and finally opened on June 29. IMHO, it was a "soft" grand opening and those who stayed should have received some kind of concession for being the "guinea pigs". It was not fair having to pay full price for a hotel that wasn’t ready.
I agree. What if I had dentures and had no where to put them
To charge $320NZD / night for a soft opening, I do find a little insulting. It is quite apparent thought they are keeping this hotel for a select clientèle. Bus station connoisseurs
