The view, and access to shops / restaurants was excellent. Room maintenance needs attention. TV not working, several ceiling lights not working. Only two coat hangers in the room wardrobe.

Tired old lady in a great location

Good location close to the centre of Takapuna, and a short walk to the beach. Our room was pleasant, with views over the lake and ocean, but there were some unwanted curry smells around. The shower went crazy and soaked everything in the bathroom. Public areas need some major upgrades - wooden floors in the foyer were in poor repair and there was a lot of old wooden furniture in the bar that made it feel 1970;s - disappointing that the bar closed at 10pm on a Friday night. Wifi was terrible.

Our suite was very spacious and clean with lovely views of the lake and ocean. It was great to have a dishwasher and washing machine and dryer in our suite as we were staying for a few days. We were very happy with our stay.
