Nice view of the Auckland Sky Tower from our room. The mattress was rather soft and lumpy. The small refrigerator really did not chill things much. The staff was nice, and the breakfast was a nice addition.

It would be greatly appreciated if I could receive clear directions to my room and guidance regarding parking facilities. Additionally, I noted the absence of water in the refrigerator, and the air conditioning unit ceased operation during the night, which significantly disrupted my sleep.
