Novotel Auckland Airport
Extremely convenient to the int’l terminal. Nice room and very quiet. There were a couple of glitches, though. Power in my room went out, the lotion container was completely empty and my key was deactivated way before departure time.

Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group
Busy hotel at this time of the year but the staff were exceptional in accommodating guests of all styles of stay. Great pool, gym & spa. Excellent onsite dining options. I never left the hotel as no need to for an overnight stay with everything in one place.
