Port in the Storm
BySandy from Sautee

We were stranded between flights in Auckland due to the Covid 19 virus. Betting on the Holiday brand name reputation we caught the airport shuttle to the hotel. We were met by friendly and professional front desk personnel. The necessity of having to use room service, the closing of hotel facilities, all understandable and very much appreciated. The hotel and staff provided both the highest of quality and security comfort of home.
Fine service in difficult circumstances

We stayed only one night, awaiting a flight home during the COVID19 lockdown. All public areas were closed to guests, but they looked inviting. Our rooms were very comfortable, and it was particularly nice to have a patio door we could open. The in-room breakfast was enormous— perhaps to make up for not being able to enjoy the other amenities!
Airport stop

We had to stop over for the night before flying home during the Coronavirus pandemic. The hotel was clean, efficient and accommodating to our needs. It was a good stay. The shuttle requires purchasing a ticket at the airport. Buy a round trio ticket there or take Uber. If you have more than two people consider Uber. It’s $6 each way on the shuttle. There are quite a few stops when returning to the airport. The grounds were great and the room was clean and roomy. Breakfast was good too. We paid for it when booking.

Excellent location from the airport. And the yellow bus is a great thing.
One night near airport

Didn't figure out the shuttle from the airport in time for the first one, so waited for the second (you have to buy the ticket at the kiosk first and it doesn't take bills -- only change or charge). Front desk checked us in quickly, room was comfortable and spacious. Was told pool was "naturally heated" (by the sun, I guess) and it was pretty cold but refreshing. Some trouble with a soiled sheet at bedtime remedied quickly with a clean sheet. We got the included breakfast buffet and it was quite good. Bar food we had was good also. Unable to stay more than an hour past without incurring substantial per hour charge up to a "day rate" that was more than we paid for the previous night.
good location great beds

Nice location, a bit frustrating to get from airport to hotel, but once we were there it was good. Also had some issues getting to the car rental agency from the hotel. Nice room and bed. Bathroom was dated, but overall was clean.

Hotel ilocation and shuttle bus service make this a good place to stay for an early flight. Hotel grounds are nice. Missed outdoor seating. Room was OK. Shuttle bus service was great but could be free.
Comfortable oasis

I stayed here on the 1st and 2nd night of the New Zealand lock-down awaiting a flight home. Considering a very stressful situation for everyone involved the staff were calm, reassuring and professional. I cannot thank the check in staff enough. I dealt with the duty manager at the time and he was personable and instantly made me feel at ease and like I could relax after a very challenging few days.
Welcoming gem in difficult times.

We needed an unplanned stay for two nights near the airport in order to regroup and reschedule flights out due to the Covid-19 issue. The hotel was chosen on-line since we are IHG members so it made sense. What we found was a normally quiet little oasis near the airport being forced to adapt to the changing Coronavirus and succeeding very well. At check-in they explained the status (room service only, minimum services), and we were fine to self-isolate in our room, overlooking a pleasant open garden area. All the staff we met were courteous and friendly whilst still coping with this new environment. Thank you all!
Great airport hotel.
