Good location, nice to be able to walk along the water. Pool was big and indoors so was good if it was raining outside. Breakfast was good if you like a cooked breakfast, but apart from that I think the range was fairly average in comparison to the breakfast I have had at Auckland Rydges.

Kia Ora Anonymous, Thank you for leaving a review. Usually, during a short term stay we do not change the sheets daily as to keep up our eco friendliness. If you do require this one, please feel free to specifically let us know either at front desk or by calling housekeeping. Otherwise, we look forward to welcoming you back some time soon. Kind Regards

First room we were given, tv remote and heating didn't work, previous guests jacket was still in the wardrobe and the view was directly in to the office block next door - for over $500 for the night this was extremely disappointing. It took 2 visits to reception and 1 phone call (that was cut off) before we got the same young lady who checked us in originally to get anything done about this, she was very helpful and upgraded us to a city view room with a working heater which was appreciated. Rest of the stay was fine, but at the cost of $1366 for 3 nights for 3 plus $30 for 1 nights valet parking, this stay was on the expensive side for the room (which was small)

Great large size rooms with great amenities. Really appreciated the kitchenette with plates and cutlery etc - gave me the option of bringing back takeaways rather than having to eat out. Very comfortable bed.
