Staff were so helpful as we had a family member hospitalised so late check in. Offered safe parking right outside as all regular parking was full. Service was above and beyond. Thank you

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Housekeeping is lacking. Shower gel empty on arrival, black mold in shower, no bin liners. Next day refresh left a new towel but did not remove soiled towels left on floor, did not empty overflowing bin, or replace dirty coffee mugs. Property is tired compared to other Novotels.

Susan, Auckland

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is very nice, the only complaint would be the parking facilities, we had been at Meatstock working all day and came back and there was no parking available. We had to find one and walk back to the hotel. Secondly we came back and our room hadn’t been serviced so we had to make our beds and on Sunday morning I had to go and find coffee cos there was none in our room. For the costing we found that unacceptable

Great location. Cosy lobby bar. The buffet breakfast was more than adequate. The only negative is that the complementary guest parking at the rear of the hotel was very limited.
