Good quality motor inn overlooking the river. Great sized room with a huge bed. There are a couple of restaurants within a 5 minute walk, and there are nice walks along the boardwalk for the energetic.

The Senator is a nice hotel on the Waterfront in Gisborne. It is walkable to the central business district. We enjoyed our stay there, and found the people who own it to be very hospitable and willing to assist.
