We ended up needing an extra night so we booked via a different website and the staff combined our two reservations and even switched us rooms when a fan wasn’t working to an upgraded view!

It used to be a great and attractive hotel. Its scenic view is great However， the elevator is old and makes some noise. As a whole, compare to other hptel in auckland it does still deserve to book and live in this hotel at this price. ##### Dan Shang Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Steven 12 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very pleasant staff. No A/C. Very soft mattress. Opened several windows and hotel provided a floor fan.
