Holiday Inn Auckland Airport by IHG

Holiday Inn Auckland Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Just a quick stop over for us. However it was so good and I actually said to my husband that I wish I was staying longer! We had one of the ground level rooms which had what I called “our own backyard” that our toddler was able to play around in so that he wasn’t stuck in the room. Breakfast buffet was nothing short of amazing and had heaps of variety, comfy beds (heaven honestly). Our room was super spacious which was an added bonus. They had a portacot for our toddler which was bonus as well. 10/10 will be back whenever I’m in Auckland again overnight."
