The 1st room on the 2nd floor, the bath had a large piece of the white emamel missing and the tiles had mold. Do we changed rooms to the 3rd floor and room was excellent. I believe they are now renovating the lower floor rooms. The heated pool and spa were excellent plus easy walk to all of Auckland. Yes, I would stay there again.
