Centrally located; heart of everything; and walk to many shops. Nothing not to like! All above average! Close to everything. Clean & modern; easy access & entry; many shops well within walking distance! Main street one block away! Quite & roomy. Many amenities. Will stay there again - tremendous value!

We spent three nights at the Plaza. Because of its reputation, we were surprised when we arrived in the early evening not to be met by a doorman. We had to unload our own bags and transport them to the reception desk where we were asked if we needed any help. Later that evening my wife called down for a feather pillow since they were listed as one of the four types of pillows available. We were informed that they had none available. The same thing happened the next day. Again, not what would be expected from a hotel of this reputed quality. On the bright side, the continental breakfast and cocktail hour which were a part of the package we purchased were excellent. The room and bath were clean and well stocked with amenities. This would be a great 3 or even a good 4 star hotel but definitely not a 5.

Excellent Room Service Menu, Staff extremely helpful, very accomodating & friendly. Hotel was very clean & in excellent location. Only 3 minute walk to Skytower. Highly recommended. Best hotel i have ever stayed at in both Aust & NZ

it was morning when we arrived from our cruise ship. my husband had become ill and desparately needed to lie down. there was only one room ready and they gave it to us! we really appreciated their compassion. my husband was able to rest and recover so we could enjoy the short time we had in auckland. we were able to walk to wonderful shopping, restaurants, and activities.

Great restaurant, good prices. Needs to be updated, esp. in bathroom. WIFI needed. I expected the Crowne Plaza to be a 5 star hotel, but it wasn't close: one of the staff members was downright rude to me when I asked a simple question; bags were not allowed to be brought up by clients )the staff had to bring them up so that they could get their tip); the broadband was painfully slow, although there was wi-fi (but also slow). Overall, it was OK, but certainly not 5 star or even 4 star.

Good Hotel with friendly & efficient staff situated in an excellent part of town. Only real gripe was the budget shower head and no bath robes things you'd expect better from a hotel of this calibre.

	Date of Stay: December, 2008
Nice big room with 32" Sony TV. Comfortable and very clean.

	Date of Stay: November, 2007
Great location downtown near all the major venues and transportation centers. Facility was clean, well staffed, and ready access to nearby shops, restaurants, etc.

	Date of Stay: December, 2008
The room decor was spacious, elegant and quiet. The reception agent was new and slow. She gave me the wrong information about the taxi to the airport. Easy access to downtown. Very pleasant upscale facility.

	Date of Stay: August, 2008
Dinner was disappointing. Have eaten here before and just did not seem to be to usual standard. Chef may have been having a bad night. Waitress was very efficent and pleasant. Rooms and other hotel services all good.

	Date of Stay: July, 2008
It was very convenient for me to have a good hotel near the universities where I visited on business trip.

	Date of Stay: October, 2007
The hotel was very nice, clean spacious rooms, and a mall in the basement. Great location for seeing CBD and waterfront. Less than 10 min walk to the ferry. Parking in the hotel was pricy but to be expected in a downtown locaiton. Overall, exactly what I would expect from a Crown Plaza anywhere else.

	Date of Stay: June, 2008
It had a beautiful view. The food was sub-par. All in all, and excellent place to stay in Auckland.

	Date of Stay: April, 2009
Excellent hotel would def stay again, great location very central

Date of Stay: March, 2008

Great location, comfy bed. Hotel booked rental car, car didn't arrive, had to jump few hoops. The hotel is perfectly located in Auckland, close to Sky Tower and close to the harbor. The rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. The toiletries are nice also. Small issue with the concierge regarding a rental car not showing up was ultimately resolved by taking taxi to rental facility paid for by Rental company.

Very nice room. No pool, restaurant was over priced for the food.

Date of Stay: January, 2008

Clean, New and Large size room with all amenities, and centrally located. It was summer time in Auckland when we traveled and the air conditioning in the rooms were not cool enough and was centrally controlled by the hotel. We had booked 2 rooms for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids, as the hotel rooms in most foreign countries are quite small. However, we were very surprised to see such spacious room with large windows and ample room for luggage and even an extra bed. The facility was very new. The beds were comfortable. The rooms had all the required basic amenities. The hotel is located in a very central place close to many city's attractions, restaurants and shops, all in walking distance. The hotel even had a large laundry room with complimentary detergent. This helped us after a 2 week cruise vacation, where we could not do any laundry at all. The hotel also had a friendly staff and lots of information on sight seeing and tours. We will definitely stay at this hotel, when we visit Auckland again!

Date of Stay: September, 2007

Concierge service and staff was exceptional. Rooms could have been a little nicer. Location is pretty good; plenty of places to eat nearby and it's just a short walk to Sky Tower. The rooms overall aren't bad, but I've stayed in other Crowne Plazas that had nicer rooms (such as Sydney). I'd classify these as a notch above average. But what I really enjoyed at this hotel was the service: concierge was excellent and helped us with everything we needed quickly, enthusiastically, and professionally. They did the usual tasks like booking tours, but also did things like dropped off our rental car for us and provided us with an American 110-volt adapter to charge our electronics' batteries (something a lot of other hotels couldn't provide, and their adapter was nicer than one we used at a five-star hotel later in the trip). Overall, a great experience and would recommend.

The concierge & bell staff was fantastic! The lobby is very loud.

Date of Stay: December, 2006

Nice location, good size gym, nice view from room. Need free internet in room and business center, better elevator access to gym and business center. Although it strays a bit far from Auckland¿s gorgeous harbor, this hotel lies hard by the central downtown shopping district; I loved that I could walk to the very hip high street shops in less than five minutes. Fine dining, the sky tower, the ballet, the civic theatre -- you can get to all of these within a 10-minute stroll. The staff is friendly, but the rooms, although spacious, look a bit shabby, and the pillows seem rather cheap for such a grand facility.
