Auckland Rose Park Hotel
The room had been renovated/refurbished and was lovely. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were generally very helpful. I haven't tried the restaurant. For a good value, comfortable place to stay in Auckland Rose Park Hotel is a positive choice.

La Quinta by Wyndham Parnell Auckland
The room was clean, however, the room was very very tight and looked out onto a public balcony for the floor. So, it was a little unfortunate of a view, and we had to keep our blinds shut at all times. But, for a short stay was not bad.
