SkyCity Hotel
Accommodating staff, checked us in at 1pm without hesitation even though usual check in was 3pm. Room didn’t have any view but was clean, modern and spacious. Comfy bed, enjoyed a burger at Andy’s also in SkyCity and went for breakfast at the Fed over the road. Super location.

The Grand by SkyCity
When booking, please check your reservation carefully. My friends and I booked at the same time and we thought with the same deal, but theirs included their $45 breakfast, and ours only came with a $30 voucher, so our breakfast was not even covered.
