Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were very friendly and the room was fine with everything we needed. However, it was quite noisy all through the night, partly due to a noisy fridge in the room but also from the the noisy traffic. Probably not a problem if you're a heavy sleeper.

Hobson’s Choice is where I stay when I have to overnight in Dargaville as they have kept up their standards over the years. Each time I am there they have some small improvement and this time it was a heat pump in the room.

Fast and friendly check-in, all interactions with staff were great. Room was very spacious and clean. My only issue was the cold wind blowing in under the large gap at the bottom of the door - straight to the 'work station'.
