"We were upgraded (due to our Expedia VIP status) to a one bedroom apartment, which despite being “just” a hotel had the best equipped kitchen of all the apart-hotels we’ve stayed in in the previous 6 weeks. If the location were in the CBD instead of at the airport it would be a fabulous long-stay. Friendly staff, super clean and comfortable room, convenient full service in-house restaurant that serves food a cut above expectation. Despite decor that looks like any other hotel’s breakfast room, the food was fabulous, the servers wonderfully friendly, and the wine list well curated. There’s also a lovely lobby bar with barista (and cream). We also appreciated that there was no surcharge for their airport shuttle.We’d definitely stay here again pre or post flights to or from Auckland. "
