Don’t ignore the reviews that say that the noise is incredible — it is! It’s ridiculous! Kept me up big time my first night in Auckland. Think: preacher with microphone and speaker in adjacent plaza to the hotel. Also, I think this place looks better in the pictures that it actually is. That being said, you can’t beat the central location. Also, the property manger went out of his way to get us extra fans in the heat., which we really appreciated.
