pool wasn't heated but was nice and long. The staff missed cleaning our room so we had to go out to get towels. Didn't like the hyper modern black design as the room felt like a cave and you could see anything, especially the light switches.and the lighting designwas very poor and glaring. Very good location for visiting the cbd of auckland.g
