Ramada Suites by Wyndham Auckland Manukau Pacific Centre
Everything about the visit was excellent, the room, location, accessability. I ate in the resturaunt and found that a little limiting. I wanted a pizza and there was no cheese to go on it! That was 1/3 of the dinner menu out! It was still a good stay. I will be back.
