Good times!

We really enjoyed Sky City Grand -- we were really glad we were in the Grand side because it was much quieter in the lobby, etc. than the Sky City side. Our room was nice -- every amenity was provided-- except internet! We were supposed to get a half hour free each day, but were never able to get online. The message kept telling us we had already used our allotted time. Bummer. We were able to go to a local McCafe for internet with breakfast. Other than that, no complaints. We would definitely stay here again.

SkyCity Grand was a very nice hotel. You can't beat the location or the staff. It is pretty much walking distance from anything you would want to do. It is located in the heart of Auckland so there is something for everybody. The hotel itself has many different restaurants and lounges but it is much more expensive then venturing off the property. Not only will you find better places to eat you will save a few dollars as well. Overall I would recommend SkyCity compared to the other hotels we saw in the city.

Eat and drink off site. Many places less then a 5min walk have specials going on different nights of the week.

Very Elegant Stay

We toured the Auckland area. Greeted personally by top hatted doorman that added class to the place. Stayed on the 9th floor and the room was very accomodating and clean (carpet needed cleaning) but other than that very elegant. All the personel greeted us coming and going. Had a chance to visit the casino. This casino sure needs some work( inside looks somewhat dark and not too clean appearing. Needs dice tables. Black jack tables were very much in favor of the house as they replaced discards of played cards immediately back into the constant shuffler. Also restrictive in that you could only double down only on 10's and 11's. All cards were dealt up...not very fair odds for players...also not being able to tipping the dealers was rather strange... Poker room was very small and dingy I had read in a previous reviews that it was noisy and the crowded outside area kept some folks awake...did not find that to be true or a problem...really enjoyed our stay...Super value for our dollar!!!

A special deal gave us a great night in a centrally located 5 star hotel. Linked to the Casino if that is your thing but in central Auckland and close to business - which was my thing. Car parking is in the Casino car park which is okay but at $20 is more expensive than some other local hotels. Very friendly and helpful staff
