The Room is spacious and the darling Harbour view is great from the room. Especially, I feel that the view is wonderful after dark. The breakfast buffet is good variety of selection. The most of 5 star hotels in Auckland cannot be compared. ( I live in Auckland.) Only one thing is that the next door is under construction. It will be blocking the left side of the hotel in future
