The Parnell Hotel & Conference Centre
Very spacious, modern, clean and quiet. Also beds were super comfortable (and both large, rather than the more typical 1 queen/1 twin). Also free parking! Only disadvantage was distance from CBD.

Heartland Hotel Auckland Airport
This hotel is close to the airport, clean and economical. It was a good choice for a single layover night. We were renting a camper van that was within walking distance which was an added bonus.
