"Cheltenham Beach. was not the closesest thats north shore hours away? ,Okahu Bay Beach is 20 mintbus"

1.0

Checking in was amazing. Cheers, thank you? being close to everything in town, fast food, etc, supermarket, amazing view of the SkyCity tower,

The checkout experience on 15/06/26 was not up to our expectations. We noted an instance where a staff member was present in a dimly lit area, engaged in eating, while we, along with three other guests, waited outside the door at 9:30 AM. This situation highlighted a possible lack of attentiveness to guest needs. Furthermore, we observed that the showers were unclean and exhibited signs of mould, which raises concerns about sanitation. Additionally, there were issues with blocked and locked shower and toilet facilities, and the absence of lids or seats on the toilets that were broken. These matters require attention to ensure a more satisfactory experience for future guests.

"Heureusement ce n'était que pour deux nuits avant mon départ."

De dormir dans une petite chambre sans fenêtre, des murs en mauvais état, d'énormes tuyaux (de la clim ?? ) au plafond avec bruit. La salle de bain vétuste deux WC dont un inutilisable pour le 3ème étage.

Subject: Maintenance and Cleanliness of Facilities I would like to take a moment to address some concerns regarding the current condition of the bathroom facilities. It has come to my attention that the cleanliness standards are not being adequately maintained. Specifically, there are issues such as missing toilet seats and personal items left on the floor, which pose challenges to both hygiene and functionality. Additionally, the absence of hot water has resulted in cold showers, which is particularly concerning given the number of guests currently using the facilities. Moreover, the presence of extra rubbish bins in the restrooms appears to contribute to increased clutter, necessitating more frequent maintenance. It is also essential to enhance the overall cleanliness of the guest rooms. For instance, providing an additional sheet on each bed would significantly improve the guest experience. Addressing these matters would greatly contribute to a more positive environment for all users of the facilities. Thank you for your attention to these concerns. /CheckIn awesome 11/06/2026 Thak-u

"Bad"

2.0

Nothing much

Rude and strict staffs who argued with me forbidding me to use kitchen at 9:30 pm, saying that kitchen closes at 9pm and it's a rule. I explained my situation that I got there by 8 pm but got late after finding groceries Store which I couldn't easily get due to complicated traffic in the area, but they argued with me for 20 min saying I can't use their small kitchen. Also before check out, I asked if 10am is strict (because I was finishing on food that I cooked for breakfast and I couldn't completely eat up) and staff said "No" when I asked even 5 min
