Because of the security problem my wife felt unsafe, we didn’t stay, and checked out at 9:30pm. Very very disappointing. More disappointing was the lack of communication from management, and the lack of understanding.

The room was nicely appointed, a good bed, nice bathroom, and cleanliness was to a high standard. Overall a nice hotel with good in-house dining options, and the Expedia Silver reward was definitely a good bonus. Close to main City activities and good for a business trip. There was only two small things: firstly with current works on the lifts it does mean you wait a while to get up and down, but nothing major. The second was my room had an adjoining room door, and whilst securely locked with a key, it did mean I could hear the children in the next room sometimes. Again not major, but would recommend avoiding rooms with adjoining doors.

Really central, great staff and we received a free upgrade. Lower score only because the lifts are under refurbishment and the area around the hotel has some construction.

This property was very opulent, grand, and extremely well designed. Staying here made you feel all warm and cozy and the front desk Check in staff did their part to make you feel Lavishly welcome as well. The property featured a whirlpool spa, sauna, as well as a warm swimming pool to relax and exercise in. It also had a fully equipped gym. It also featured a deck for smokers where they can relax. Look at the sky and smoke at their will. The property was also adjacent to a very bustling Casino next-door. There was also a very delicious restaurant inside of the hotel at the base of the hotel. There was also an Asian/Japanese sushi restaurant, as well as a quick bite/get together style restaurant adjacent to the hotel as well. You cannot go wrong picking this hotels to stay when you are in Auckland, New Zealand
