tired but good value for money
VR Auckland City is in a good location, but didn't give guaranteed parking. Staff was vey helpful and polite. The kitchen s very convenient to have, but not adequately stocked, no sharp knife, the lid on the one pot was too small and no large spoons, spatulas etc. Although the room was spacious, it was very tired, cracks in the floor tile and sink, grout needs replacing. Even with the negatives, the room was still good value for the money,
