Solid choice, some finer details to improve on
Great location. Nice facilities.
However, the $40 per day parking fee was a bit much. Also, the need to get staff to open up the door to the gym/pool and give you access to the parking in the basement is an inconvenience. Especially when you have to leave for the airport and the staff have put up a 'back in 10 minutes' sign.

The staff are as always brilliant to deal with, we are regulars you see so already know them by name too.
The room we stayed in 205 is in need of refurbishing. The walls are getting grubby, the carpet is very frayed at the edges especially by the kitchen. The touch lamp on the rhs of the bed does not work properly.
I like that there are handrails by the bath.
Also, the pool,spa and sauna is always a big plus for us.

Everything was good except the bathroom was not a good standard.
On checkout I advised the receptionist that that bath had several chips in the bottom and also outside the bath the skirting board looked mouldy.
Also the floor looked like it had water damage.
The receptionist noted my concern so I hope the necessary action to tidy it up has been taken/

Helpful staff
Staff were really helpful, the heating stopped working in my room and I had 2 people come to look at it and eventually got it fixed, they also brought me a portable heater! the tv remote wasn’t working great after they gave me new batteries which didn’t make a difference so they gave me a new remote! House keeping were great asked me everyday if I needed my room making up or if I needed anything topped up, fresh towels daily, more than accommodating! Highly recommend amazing location and great price!

I liked the location and walkable distance from downtown Akld and my work location . Staff were super helpful, and friendly on arrival. I did wake to some noise at night and I would have liked access to a full length mirror. Shower curtain also a little tired.

Great location for viaduct and cad eateries - all walking distance. But being cbd was a bit noisy with road traffic noise. They heating was a little suspect and noisy - had to turn off to sleep. Staff took a long time - over 10 minutes - to check me in, saying they had a new computer system that it seemed they had little training on and had difficulties. Parking was available although expensive, and access via the lifts had to be approved by the reception each time -why not use the pass cards for the rooms to do this??? Overall the stay was satisfactory only, and yes for the price I would stay again but do some research for cheaper parking next time I have business in Auckland CBD.

The property was centrally located and nice and tidy. Staff were pleasant. The room was larger than expected with separate living and bedroom. The bed was remarkably uncomfortable with a big sag in the middle meaning it was impossible to sleep without roll together. It was hopeless for a sore back/
