OK - But not the best value.

Front of house were OK. But the checkin was transactional. I've already provided feedback about the breakfast in my previous survey - however I'd not recommend it for what it costs. And for $45 it doesn't even include a flat white - filter coffee and an average buffet (cold bacon, mashed up baked beans.... omelette which I don't think had been seasoned). Checkut was good. Pleasant and took my feedback about breakfast well. My room was apparently an upgrade, but looking directly into other Sky City hotel rooms wasn't appropriate, so it was curtains closed whenever in the room. OK if you don't want natural light. My room was 'cleaned' on my first day, however there were used towels and wet flannels left in the room and an empty soap bottle in the shower. Great location for restaurants and entertainment. Great meal at The Depot (one of their restaurants). Makes me wonder why they can't replicate the same value for their breakfast buffet. I stay at other hotels in the Auckland CBD, and I'd recommend them over The Grand by Sky City if you're watching your budget and are looking for value for money.

Hotel room was OK. Buffet breakfast appalling!

The buffet breakfast for the cost and NO included flat white is appalling! The hotel needs to understand that the breakfast is nearly the last impression a guest may leave with. I’d not recommend it.
