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/
