Auckland Vacations from $354

Staff was great, had to pay for parking, room wasn’t super clean

I stayed here for one night before an early morning flight out of SMF. The room appeared clean and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. That said, there was a strong, unpleasant odor in the room that I couldn't really get past. While everything looked clean visually, the smell definitely affected the overall experience. Another inconvenience was that there was no hair dryer in the room. I had to go to the front desk, leave my ID, and borrow one from the office. It wasn't a major issue, but it was less convenient than having one already available in the room. Overall, the stay was manageable and served its purpose as an affordable place to stay before an early flight. The friendly staff was a plus, but the odor in the room and the hair dryer situation kept the experience from being better.

It is right on Union Square, so everything was close by. Yes, food and drinks were very good.

Hotel was clean, never been in a hotel with a virtual customer service. Hotel was excellent.

The rooms were clean, I liked the retro look of the whole place. You have to have your car parked via valet, which is fine, because you know it will be safe. Valet attendants were very friendly and fast. Room was not ready at check in. Once we did get our keys, they handed the keys and that was it. No info on where the room was, nothing on WiFi, nothing. Just here’s the keys, thank you. There is a very cute on-site retro restaurant/cafe which was nice. The service there was great.
