The bathroom stall doors on 3rd floor men bathroom needs adjustments to close properly. I will book here on my next time in Auckland CBD. Close to Sky Tower and convenient Sky drive bus to and from airport. Also, safe environment at this establishment. Friendly, informative and knowledgeable staff.

Since I am an Aucklander, I pretty know the area much. So, staying here in these areas is not a deal. The staff are accommodating and friendly.

4/10 Fair

Windows in my room were open when I arrived - on a rainy day - bed was very wet from the rain. Thin duvet - got cold at night. No rubbish bin in [private] room. Toilet stalls don't properly close and/or don't lock. Shower doors have wide gaps through which you can see straight in. The building doesn't feel maintained or cared for. Many security cameras everywhere.
