JetPark Hotel Auckland Airport
This hotel is very nice. The rooms are large and the service staff is attentive. It is farther away from restaurants. Which means you'll have to order food and drinks from the hotel, which is can be pricey. If you'd like more food options at a reasonable price, stay at the IBIS.

SkyCity Hotel
The room were excellent, staff’s kindness, but the corridor of the hotel rooms had an old carpet with an unpleasant smell. The rest about the hotel and staff were excellent. I recommend!
