Nesuto St Martins Apartment Hotel
Room was ok. Carpet had some stains. Couch had seen better days. Staff were very helpful however, which made up for some of the shortcomings of the room. That, and clean sheets!

SkyCity Hotel
Large, clean room with good facilities. Handy location near to CBD - about 10 min walk to downtown. Most meal and bar outlets are not in main building but across a small adjoining lane way which wasn't explained and I didn't discover until breakfast. So dinner was somewhere else. Overall, good value ...

Grand Millennium Auckland
The room was clean and spacious. The bed was super comfortable. And the washroom was large with a tub and separate shower. The restaurant was great and there was a coffee bar in the lobby. Very convenient. I would stay here again.
