Hot water for a shower is an issue. I had to run the shower for a minimum of 15 mins before hot water would come through.

The room is under a septic flush and every time the toilet flushes it always making a loud noise. The hose of the septic has a water that is dripping down the bedroom.

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.
