The rooms were so small that you couldn’t open your suitcase. The bathroom was slightly larger than an airplane bathroom. It was a 2story room and the stairs were dangerous. The bottom floor was freezing. We had no washcloths the first night. The parking was narrow and hard to get into. The beds felt like trampolines. The pillows were lumpy. The tv downstairs did not work. The neighborhood was sketchy but close to the CBD.

Good quality within walking distance of CBD. Really comfortable bed, invaluable at the end of a long holiday. Fastest wifi we'd had as well. A 15 minute walk to the harbour and main shopping and dining opportunities. A hotel to return to when we arrange a return trip

Great hotel, average breakfast service

They accomodated an early check in for us as we were attending a wedding shortly after original check in time which we appreciated. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. 2 bedroom apartment was comfortable and lots of room, separate heat pump/ac in both bedrooms. Central location. Rude man at breakfast reception, had already prepaid for breakfast when booking through hotels.com. He ignored me when I told him we had already paid and continuously asked how I would like to pay. Then said we could not eat. I showed him my app that said we had breakfast included and again he ignored this. I spoke to reception and also showed them my app confirming breakfast and they apologised and let us go through. We finally got in to breakfast at 9.30am and there was no milk left for cereal or in the coffee machine. Most of the food warmers were almost empty as well. There were still at least 7 tables of people in the restaurant and eating breakfast. They should have still been refilling food at this time but clearly did not want to be there nor wanted customers who had paid a lot of money to eat there. Would stay here again without hesitation but probably wouldn’t book breakfast again.

Hotel is near the Sky Tower which is convenient if you’re travelling from Auckland airport. It is also within walking distance to the main shopping area and the harbour. There are many restaurants nearby. Staff was friendly and willing to hold our luggage after we’ve checked out. Only thing to be aware of is the city noise. The windows are not thick so you can hear traffic and noise from the streets below.

Check in information was lacking, e.g. the need to use the room key to get electricity. Pool of water on floor where fridge had defrosted/leaked. We weren't told that there was no dining on sundays and mondays (the nights we stayed and wanted to eat in).

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very accommodating and kind. The room was quiet. Access control to the building after hours was easy. Two of us stayed and we were given one key card, which was fine until one of us decided to go out to get food and had to take the key - which we needed in room for power - leaving the other occupant (literally) in the dark. I recommend getting at least two cards of 2 ppl are staying and there is even a remote possibility of someone wanting to stay behind for any reason. I would stay there again and would recommend.
