Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group
Room very good, breakfast buffet a good selection. The main restaurant has a very extensive selection, but expensive. Valet parking is a nuisance, but self parking is a nightmare. If you are driving, best stay somewhere else.

Novotel Auckland Airport
Extremely convenient to the int’l terminal. Nice room and very quiet. There were a couple of glitches, though. Power in my room went out, the lotion container was completely empty and my key was deactivated way before departure time.
