The hotel is in a great location near Skycity and the Sky Tower, making it convenient for tours like the one we took to Rotorua. The rooms, while a bit outdated for the price, offered a minimum level of cleanliness that made our stay comfortable. The service was exceptional, with the staff being super accommodating and helpful, although we did experience some confusion during check-out. The dining experience was pleasant, though we felt a savory toast option would be a nice addition. Overall, the location is excellent, close to various attractions and easy to walk to many places.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were facing the main road, which made it noisy with constant foot traffic, but they were spacious and served their purpose. The service was excellent, even during a severe storm, but the extra charges for credit card payments were a bit inconvenient. The location was close to central Auckland, which was convenient, but the added fees for various payments were a drawback. The dining options were below expectations, with limited choices available. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, although initially not clean, got better with an 'upgrade' to the 9th floor. The light breakfast was a nice touch, but cleanliness was an issue upon arrival with band-aids and rubbish left lying around.

The hotel is centrally located with easy access to attractions and public transportation, making it ideal for exploring the city. However, cleanliness and comfort could be improved, and the proximity to a seedier part of town could be concerning when walking back in the evenings.

The hotel was advertised with parking but had only one shared bathroom with no daily house cleaning. The rooms, which we knew were going to be good as we have stayed before, were actually not clean at all. The service was highly customer-focused and attentive to customer needs, but unfortunately, it was very rude and unhelpful in reality, with various cleanliness issues reported. The location is excellent, around the corner from SkyCity and a short walk to Queen St, but there were disturbances from the number of homeless people in Auckland Central. The dining options were varied, with some nice offerings but also room for improvement like a savory option for toast.
