A Fantastic Honeymoon!

New Zealand | Jun 7 - Jun 26, 2023

This hotel is beautifully situated on the waterfront, a short distance from downtown Auckland. The hotel was clean, modern, inviting, and accommodating - it was the perfect first stop on our honeymoon. The room was well appointed with a soaking tub and modern amenities. When we told Megan Lee at the front desk that it was our honeymoon, she sent a bottle of bubbly and a dessert to our room, along with a beautiful note, to welcome us and congratulate us on our celebration. We greatly appreciated this gesture and is indicative of how the hotel really pays attention to its guests needs (and even small comments!) to a great degree. Wonderful experience overall and we would definitely return without hesitation.

The hotel itself is fine if slightly dated, and perhaps less "high end" than we had hoped. The snacks in the room were a welcome addition, and were refilled with regularity. The room was clean and comfortable, and had a very nice view. The beds were pretty comfortable as well. The hotel is somewhat lacking in amenities, but perhaps you could chalk it up to being the winter season and not being able to take advantage of what appeared to be additional things to do on the grounds during the summer months. The restaurant, in both of our views, was serviceable for breakfast but unfortunately terrible for dinner. The price for dinner wasn't inexpensive and was definitely the wrong move. Overall, the hotel is comfortable and nice enough but avoid the restaurant!
