The staff were so accommodating here, welcoming , helpful and great responses to any email queries we had before heading to Auckland. Had a car so was so easy to get around and go back roads to places to miss the traffic. Nice and close to Onehunga outlet mall. Would definitely stay again.

Great location, price wasn't too high. That room needs an electrician though (this was passed on to Reception at checkout).

The room was great and very clean. It was super quiet too. Unfortunately the mattress was absolutely horrible. Worst bed I’ve ever slept on in a hotel. Not sure how this property gets a four star rating.

Was not aware it was going through a remodel with scaffolding all around the perimeter. Parking is awful. Definitely not sound proof! Doors are sliders. Staff very courteous. Check in was seamless. First Best Western where I had to pay for a continental breakfast so opted out and walked to nearby restaurants.

Was a really good over all experience, 2nd time staying here but this time we booked the grand apartment instead of just one room! Was really spacious and very appealing to look at! Also a great price! One down side was between the hours of 12-6 am there was a very loud almost old air conditioning sound that would stop and start every hour not sure what it was but made it slightly hard to sleep. Thought it could’ve been the laundry situated below us going off maybe? Not sure but was a good experience overall!

Some good things
Wasn't a bad hotel but definitely not worth US $126 a night. There was ugly scaffolding all around it (roof repair/replacement) and some ramshackle aspects like damaged benchtop and some concrete stair risers replaced with decking timber. In our room (no.13) the clock-radio in the bedroom was broken as was a security stay on the bedroom window. However, the bed was comfortable and it was clean. For well over NZ$220, I expected better, though.

Property is in good shape, much nicer than previous reviews indicate. Good size rooms, full kitchen in one corner, space for luggage and small closet. Very quiet, in 5 days only heard other guests once! Restaurant on site for breakfast, ends too early at 9, and dinner. Delicious food but expensive. Staff very friendly and helpful. Walking distance to cafes in Ellerslie. Self serve guest laundry is not available, contrary to website… Outside parking free, at your door!

We booked 1 queen and two twin beds, the room had two queen beds. We could hear the people above us. The toilet door handle and blinds were broken, not all of the lights worked. The dryer and washing machine were next to our room and we could also hear these working in the night

The Premium twin Room was clean. The Beds had very soft mattresses which gave us a really sore back, and resulted in a very poor night's sleep. The Shower was good , the wash hand basin had a large crack through the middle, the extractor fan did not work. All towels and bed linen were clean..The coffee/Tea making facilities were clean and worked, and the TV was also in working order.

Reception lady was very helpful anything I wanted to know she was able to answer and friendly. Stayed for 3 nights, on the 1st morning house keeping was done getting fresh towels etc and we had dishes, which were washed in hand basin in bathroom as there was no kitchen sink, was going to mention at Reception but I forgot. Would have thought they would be taken away to a kitchen sink to be washed.

Friendly helpful staff, check-in was great. Great location for concerts at Mt Smart, but they know that and bump their prices. No sink in the kitchen meant there are hidden veges under the bathroom plug :)

It is within walking distance of mount smart stadium, if you have a level of fitness, but maybe not so easy during heavy rain.
