Grand Millennium Auckland
Grand Millennium Auckland"Our hot water was scalding and dangerously hot, despite my expressed concerns. (Another guest needed it so hot? [so they said].) The shower was small. And for the noise sensitive, the atrium crowd’s cheers penetrated our room until 2AM, as did those walking above us. It was worthy of 4 stars though for the well designed and appointed large rooms. The breakfast buffet was good but not the best."

JetPark Hotel Auckland Airport"Conference room in on floor 5 my room was below. When addressed noise level to staff, they brush me off and got off the phone in a hurry. I had to ask for compensation for being kept up until 10:30pm. I get in at 2am that morning.... I got a coffee as compensation of 5 hours of no sleep...not good."
