My daughter and I shared this room and found it very clean and spacious. The service was very good and friendly. Our room had a little kitchen-et and it was great with everything we needed. We stayed 3 nights and out of those 3 only one night wasn't pleasant with very noisy neighbours announcing they were leaving early hours of the morning, but that was not the fault of the property that was just inconsiderate people. It was nice and close to the Cruise port if you are getting off a boat within walking distance but it was up hill, so at 75 it was a bit of a hike with cases. The property is situated on a one way street so it was fairly quite for a city Motel. And we also had a lovely view of the Sky tower which was pretty to look at in the day and night - in saying that it would depend on what side of the building you had your room. It is a very distinctive shaped building in a triangle shape so if you went walking in the town it was always easy to find again - great if your a tourist as we were. It was very easy to catch a taxi as they always seemed to be waiting outside and we booked a shuttle bus to the airport to go home as it was 1/2 the price of a taxi and it was a good service too. While there I recommend you visit Kelly Tarlton's - Eden Gardens and Mt. Eden as they were the highlights of Auckland. Only thing that cheesed us off was not having scales to weigh our cases going home. We didn't eat in the restaurant as it was a bit expensive but what motel restaurant isn't.
