ibis budget Auckland Airport
It was clean, there was a supermarket nearby, and it was generally comfortable. For some reason, this hotel was the only one that didn't accept payment cards. I was lucky to have cash. The Wi-Fi was weak, probably because my room was on the edge, but it worked fine in the lobby.

Heartland Hotel Auckland Airport
Was not expecting shower over a bath .. especially without assistance handles. We have always had showers. I’m sure they would have moved us if we had complained as we are both elderly. Must remember to ask next stay. Food, service and airport shuttle were excellent.
