10/10 Exceptional

The 1st room on the 2nd floor, the bath had a large piece of the white emamel missing and the tiles had mold. Do we changed rooms to the 3rd floor and room was excellent. I believe they are now renovating the lower floor rooms. The heated pool and spa were excellent plus easy walk to all of Auckland. Yes, I would stay there again.

Staff were excellent and very helpful. Room was lovely, spacious and clean and great view and very close to main amenities. If you truly want to self cater it could do with a couple of glass bowls for microwave cooking but all pots pans and plates included.
