Novotel Auckland Airport
Construction happening so entrance was a bit hard to find. Not well signed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was very clean. Quiet. Shower lets water out into standing area of bathroom but seems standard with all open showers. Quick 2 minute or less walk to airport check in.
