Everything was great. Very clean room, all staff was very attentive and helpful, breakfast buffet was awesome.

ibis budget Auckland Airport
It was clean, there was a supermarket nearby, and it was generally comfortable. For some reason, this hotel was the only one that didn't accept payment cards. I was lucky to have cash. The Wi-Fi was weak, probably because my room was on the edge, but it worked fine in the lobby.
