The Surrey Hotel
Nice size rooms. Plenty of tea and coffee but was hot and couldn’t get the cooling fan to work. Found a big white tail spider in the bed. Staff were very friendly.

Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group
Good size room 424. Quiet. Bedding is absolute top ! Shower worked well. Food definitely above the cut. Last morning we enjoyed the breakfast at 8. We entered at 10. Some items like avocado were already no longer available. Restaurant could use a bit a renovation. I believe last update was well before ...
