The continental breakfast was great. We were within walking distance of the Skytower and Weta Workshop Unleashed which was awesome! Parking in this area can be tricky though. The hotel has agreements with nearby parkades but it's still fairly expensive. We found the bathroom very strange. The shower door also doubled as the bathroom door. So when taking a shower the sink and toilet area were open to the room. This also meant the bathroom floor was often wet from the door dripping. We also discovered (rather embarrassingly) that the translucent glass wall between the shower and the rest of the room was near see through with the bathroom light on. Would be fine if you're alone or traveling as a couple but for a family of 4 it was... Awkward!
