My husband and I started our month long trip in NZ and stay 4 nights at this hotel. The suites were clean, modern, nice decor and very comfortable beds, everything worked beautifully. The Lobby.the adjoing complex Waldorf pool, Exercise Rooms were excellent. The location was walking distance to almost anything you would want to go to in Auckland. The Harbour approximately 6min walk. We were there on the weekend of Aucklands birthday and could watch the fireworks. there was chaep internet in the rooms. Go to Esquires coffee instead, buy a coffee and get it free. .previously the Hyatt. It is well worth the what we paid.. I would highly recommend this hotel for a perfect short or extended stay. We always treat ourselves to a good hotel after a long flight. This one is at the top of our list for value for $$$. My husband thinks I am quite fussy about rooms and this is one of the best I have stayed in foour NZ visit (Date of experience: Jul, 2011 )
