Downtown Auckland Gem
Great staff and even better breakfast chef. Only concern was that the chic, stylish, black tile in the shower was slippery. Has feel of a cozy, family-run hotel.

Great hotel - Repeat/Return Visitor
Great spot. Stayed before. Only two gripes, please bring back valet parking and you will never get the views of other 5 star hotels in Auckland which overlook the water. Other than that, the hotel is absolutely perfect in terms of every other aspect including staff willing to go above and beyond to assist.
