My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The accessible bathroom in our room was perfect for someone with mobility issues, but the overall room size might not easily accommodate a wheelchair. The service had some issues, as the staff walked in without knocking and had some communication mishaps. The location was great for easy access to Ponsonby Road and central Auckland, but there were a few things that needed updating in the facilities.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were initially spacious and well presented, but showed signs of wear and tear with paint job issues and bathroom floor stains. However, the kitchenette and balcony overlooking the park added a nice touch to the rooms.

My stay at the hotel was okay, but there were some areas that needed improvement. The rooms were generally clean but a bit noisy being on the ground floor. The service was pleasant, with staff being apologetic for forgetting towels and soap. The location was convenient with plenty of services nearby, although the room was a little hot and stuffy. The dining experience was average, with limited options available. The facilities could use some upgrading.

7.4/10

The hotel rooms are nice and big but quite noisy from the air con units on the roof, making it difficult to justify the high price. Maintenance is needed, particularly at night. The service, however, was excellent and very friendly, even helping me locate a missing item I had left behind. The location is perfect to reach places like Eden Park and offers easy access to dining options, although there were discrepancies with the information provided. Noisy construction in the morning was a downside.
