Looks rather plain from the outside, but once inside, everything is up to date and spotless. Service at reception was friendly, cordial, and efficient. Room had comfortable bed, functional kitchenette, spotless ensuite, and everything was in excellent condition. Location is reasonably convenient to the Auckland airport and very convenient to the Southern Motorway, with access to the Auckland CBD and north shore, and south to Manukau and Hamilton. Good value for price paid.
