Very nice hotel and conveniently located next to the airport if you have an early flight. We had rented a car and the car rental companies was also co-located with the hotel so we just had to drop of the car and walk over to the hotel. The hotel also had a decent restaurant. Our room was well-appointed with all the modern amenities. Despite being located at the airport, it was very quiet in our room.
Location of the hotel is wonderful. The hotel and guest room was clean. Good work for the housekeeping staff. During check-in, one of the the night front desk agent appeared reserved and unapproachable. Having worked in hotel operations, I believe this interaction did not meet brand service standards. While I understand the challenges of night shifts and expected nothing elaborate, a simple, warm greeting is a basic courtesy that requires little additional energy and contributes meaningfully to the guest experience.
Great stay and easy to get to from the airport. Highly recommend as an option if arriving late with young kids. Rooms were great, on site restaurant was good, robots were a novelty for the kids. Staff were phenomenal especially reception who gifted them a penguin plushie.
Wouldnt normally stay at the airport but on thisnoccasion it was very convenient. Very nice hotel, great dinner at the restaurant and a very well stocked mini bar.

Excellent hotel. Loved the bed, view and restaurant
Beautiful room so close to the airport! Great when you fly in at 2am. The electronic check in was the smoothest check in we’ve ever had. Very impressed with cleanliness too.
Well appointed, quieter than expected, great continental breakfast for $32 NZD. Best thing is its location within walking distance of the airport. Very convenient.
