My bathroom ceiling was covered in mold. The pillow cases on one of the beds were filthy. The rooms all smelt damp, fusty and mouldy. The reception area for the hotel is actually next door in a neighbouring hotel which was inconvenient. The guy on reception was pleasant and helpful but when I told him I couldn’t stay in that room he didn’t immediately express any concern regarding the state of my room and did not ask to come and inspect the room. He took me back over to the hotel and showed me 3 other rooms I could choose from and only one of those was free of mould. This is definately the worst accomodation I have stayed at in NZ. The pictures look nice enough but the place is completely run down and disgusting.

The property needs at the very least a basic renovation. Facilities are very worn with swollen/cracked chipboard, holes in walls, doors and floors. Broken furniture, broken window latches, loose wiring and faulty appliances left in room. Cleaning needs a lot of improvement- algae/mould in bathrooms, rubbish from previous guests on floor and under bed. Our room smelt of sweat and body odour so we had to open our door for about 20 mins to let some fresh air in. The 2 chairs in our room were stained, had holes in the fabric and smelt really awful. Carpet had many stains. All the towels were stained or worn, even the replacements that we requested. Staff was very polite and friendly though.

Was nothing like the pictures or description, room if you would even call it that was filthy, no proper heating (only small heater that was half broken and looked like it might catch fire), stains on pillows and bedding, shared facilities were digusting, seemed more like a really horrible hostel rather than hotel. Hard to even find the room in the first place as it was in some random building off the other part of the hotel, whole place stunk like mold/damp. We left after about 15mins and went to another hotel as couldn't get past how disgusting it was to stay the night. Didn't take photos as just wanted to get out of there!

Went downhill from morning

My check in was great, exactly what you want when arriving at midnight. Slept well but unfortunately woke up to bites, brown tap and shower water (hot tap only) and a cockroach on the wall. Rooms really need better cleaning.

Reception is in the next building. Efficient check-in staff. We arrived with the Yellow Bus airport shuttle -- very convenient. Room was quite cold when we arrived but the heater slowly warmed it. Room is large, but the very small work desk did not have any nearby access to electricity. Beds were comfortable. Nice size bathroom, but wash basin is outside in the room and very low. Adequate hot water. Little storage space in the room. Carpeting is a bit worn. Because of the chill in the room, my wife wanted to make some tea, but the heating coils in the electric kettle appeared to be covered with a black substance, so she abandoned her plan. For those who like self-catering, the small Airport Food Store is only a few minutes walk away. Not many restaurants within walking distance. Fine for one night during a long layover in Auckland but not convenient to the city center unless you have your own transport.
