Worst experience I have ever had

Reception staff weren’t overly helpful. The room smelt like rotten fish which appeared to come from the fridge. Advised staff and apparently they sent someone to clean it up but it still stunk. The TV didn’t work. The shower took 5 mins to heat up and even on full, it was barely warm at all. Worst experience I have ever had at a hotel…

The location was great!

The overall stay was ok, a great location with walking distance to the sky tower, center, shopping, supermarket so great for a family with kids. Also, it was very handy to keep the suitcases at the hotel after the check out and have the last walk around before heading to the airport. The check-in was long and the room I received was not serviced so very disappointed, however I got a better one after I complained. We re-cleaned all the dishes as it didn't look very clean. I had a high expectations, however it work and my sister love Auckland.

Lack of comms btw staffs & departments.Dusty rooms

Staff, service and failing working appliances will be the reason this place goes in loss and shut its doors one day. I have actually found the contact details of the CEO of VR groups and will be writing to him directly. Such a great location but dusty rooms, bathroom exhaust not working for the whole 2 night we were there in 2 bdrm apartment. Our room wasnt serviced inspite telling the housekeeper and the receptionist. Dishwasher wasnt working and staff told me I could handwash dishes. Just a worst service and lack of staff communication, I have seen in my 20 years of working in hospitality and staying in hotels. One of the worst.
