I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was great for my needs being near Auckland Hospital, but the noise from the motorway kept me from getting a good night's sleep. The staff was friendly and helpful, though the room itself was dated and I encountered some cleanliness issues. On the upside, there were cool amenities like a free pool table that my wife loved, making it a decent value overall.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. On the plus side, the staff provided phenomenal service and were incredibly friendly, which made my experience much better. However, the location wasn't ideal as it was right next to a hospital helipad and the noise from the motorway kept me from getting a good night's sleep. The rooms could use a bit more attention to cleanliness as well.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The location was convenient for my needs, being close to Auckland Hospital, but the noise from the nearby motorway made it hard to get a proper night's sleep. The rooms had their issues, being a bit hot and not quite as presented online. Service varied, with some friendly staff but also some abrupt interactions. On the plus side, the breakfast was decent value for what I paid.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of pros and cons. On the positive side, the location was great for my needs, and I appreciated the new TV and beds in the room. However, the cleanliness was a significant issue, and the service could have been warmer. Overall, it's a decent option if you need to be near the hospital, but it's not without its flaws.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was decent for my needs, especially being close to the hospital, but getting any real sleep was a challenge due to the noisy highway nearby. The room was spacious and clean with a lovely view, but the service could really use some improvement. Despite these issues, the hotel offered good value for money, especially with the breakfast.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while I appreciated its proximity to Auckland Hospital, I found the location quite challenging due to the noise from the motorway. The rooms were mostly clean, but I did encounter some issues like unwashed cups and rubbish under the beds. The staff could have been more welcoming, which detracted from the overall experience. All in all, it wasn't the best stay I've ever had, but it served its purpose.

The hotel has a stunning view during the day, and the rooms are generally comfortable, though I found them a bit dirty with cobwebs and used ear buds on the floor.
