Good stay. The kitchen could be better equipped. If we needed to cook there it would have been very challenging. No knifes for chopping and no scissors. Also limited crockery and food prep items

It was dirty Pubic hair and stains all over the beds We complained and were moved rooms It was better but still Dirty and big Pubic hair on the hand towel in the bathroom I have complained directly to the hotel and given them a chance to respond before placing a public review They have not bothered to respond I would like to give others a heads up before booking I don’t know if it’s their “Expedia allocated rooms” or what But for over $200 a night I expect a basic standard of cleanliness Disgusted actually dirtiest place I’ve stayed in all my travels around the world

Extraordinary seaside gem in the city
The Spencer is my dream home away-from-home. The staff are so welcoming & attend to every request or question with a smile. The rooms are large, full of light with the most fabulous views across to Rangitoto and beyond. The hotel is immaculately clean, offers a large gym & pool. I will return and can’t recommend it more. Thank you to all who made my stay so special. Jane

A seaside dreamscape in the city
Totally perfect for a peaceful stay in the city-by-the-sea! Expansive views from the spacious, well equipped rooms and kind accommodating staff have made my time here everything and more that I expected. Every day starts with the breathtakingly inspirational view, within easy reach of the city or for a seaside escape on the many local beaches.
