Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
This property was conveniently located, clean & the beds were very comfortable. We booked a room upstairs as we wanted the spa bath. The spa bath was huge but unfortunately we could not get the jets to work. We would suggest a set of instructions.
DO NOT STAY HERE. On a busy HWY. Extra charges for laundry AND a spoonful of soap ? Carpet is tired. Not convenient to restaurants. Small parking spaces. Loud screaming at 3AM both nights. No lift. Dated bathrooms. Charged for stolen/broken appliance which DID not happen. 40 years and thousands of hotel stays and this was the WORST experience.

Liked: Cleanliness
Property was okay, had some permanent or semi permanent residents in dome of the rooms
Really enjoyed our stay at the City of Sails. Friendly receptionists, pleasant to chat with and helpful.
Room as tidy and clean, super cosy bed and the jetted spa was just the icing on top of the cake.
Lovely unit, really nice that we got upgraded to a spa bath. Just a couple of maintenance needs in the bathroom as the extractor fan doesn't remove the condensation hardly at all and there's grout crumbling out from the tiles. Lovely staff, we feel very well looked after

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room in the carpark smelt musty the outlook was not inviting. Ask for another room the next night was pretty average
It was a great place to stay for what we needed in Auckland. Reception was very helpful and accommodating with our late check in. Great service and room was clean. Would stay again.
Located near Nort Shore hospital on a busy intersection nice hotel, good customer service, nice sized rooms, great facilities with good shower and comfortable bed. Good value for money and would stay again.
Room was tidy and had everything we needed but unfortunately all the pillows in the room were really hard and the sheets were extremely stiff. We were all woken at 2am but the room above us who continued to make a lot of noise for 2 hours. The room itself was comfortable overall.
