I had a pretty rough time at Harbourview Hotel in Raglan. The location is right in the heart of town, making it easy to get around, but the issues with service and dining really took away from the experience. Despite having some positive moments with friendly staff, my overall impression was marred by poor food quality and unwelcoming staff interactions.
