I had upgraded to a Queen Studio so that I could have A/C. The room was small but adequate. There was a small window in the corner that could not be opened. Lighting in the room wasn't great, and there were limited electrical outlets behind the bed head. The bathroom was large with better lighting. There was a small armoire with a frig & tea making counter. There wasn't room for a chest of drawers in the room
The hotel has a very good location, on downtown, meters from the principal street and the shopping place. Also very near tho the wharf, with many restaurants and places to buy anything. Good staff and wifi. Poor TV, no air conditioned on the room and the room we stayed was very small.
The location was nice, with restaurants and SkyCity nearby, and staff were personable, but my compliments stop there. The room is very small, breezy with old and not-well-sealed windows, and, as I was informed on check-in, has no heat. I was offered an old plug-in box heater, which smelled strongly when used, as well as extra blankets to endure the 40 degree F temperatures. Ironically, the hotel staff noted that I 'got a good rate' with my 60 usd reservation. No heat, for me, shouldn't cost that much.
Old property but excellent location and good price. So difficult to use toilet seat as its half under the sink.
Very nice causy hotel the location is perfect I recommended
Not what I was expecting - very noisy in the city - location is not the best. Parking is annoying.
The staff are very helpful and friendly. Just remember the lowest priced rooms may not have A/C. I reserved a room for $83 USD and my friend reserved for $73 USD. My room was a bit roomier and had A/C. For me the ten dollar difference was worth it. It is also in a great location, close to everything.
The Econo Lodge is perfectly situated right in the heart of Auckland & is very reasonably priced. The room I had was tiny but it had everything I needed, including iron & ironing board. As I was travelling alone I didn't mind the lack of space. Room service was very thorough. There was a little noise from the street below but that is to be expected in a busy city centre & this did not disturb my sleep. The staff were pleasant & helpful. If you are looking for no frills value in an ideal location I would recommend the Econo Lodge, Auckland.
How can a hotel rent rooms in winter when the building does not have a heating system? You are provided a small space heater in the room. But I was not comfortable leaving it on all night for the fire risk. And if you are able to get the room warm, get ready to get the blast of cold when you get into the hallway. And getting hot water in the sink, good luck. It does not happen. Maybe it's ok in the summer, but as a principle for a business relationship and as moral human beings, they should let you know there is no heat. It is unfortunate because everything else was good.
Very basic hotel for budget travelers. Small room. Quiet. Has hot shower. Great location.
