"This is a nice property and the rooms are lovely and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was a disappointment, however. There was one push button coffee machine that was very slow, made poor drinks about half a cup in size. There was a sign that you could use a real barista for $3 except there wasn’t one on duty. The food was uninspired. the same restaurant was good for dinner. "

"I'm a seasoned world traveler, so only write reviews when a property exceeds my expectations. This hotel ticked every box: clean, comfortable, friendly and convenient. The Wifi was free and fast. The driver waited to pick me up, the receptionist gave me an early check in and late check out. Plus, it's one of the least expensive hotels at AKL. Highly recommended. "
