Nice boutique hotel in Auckland

Pros: Nice, clean, and a good location if you want to walk around Auckland and not be in the middle of all the tourists.
Cons: Views are nothing to write home about but you can't move the hotel!
Location: Located up near Sky Tower. Only a block and half away. Great restaurants in that area, good Indian food all around. Only 15-20 minute walk to ferry
I was originally going to stay by the water but chose this hotel instead. GREAT CHOICE! Water area is way too touristy and bland. This area of town is real, with all kinds of great restaurants in very close proximity. Hotel is modern, and nice for a small boutique style hotel. Has a great coffee shop and restaurant. No great views but the rooms are well kept. Staff is very pleasant and helpful. Free internet computer in lobby really helps finds things and book tours on your own when you don't have access to a computer yourself.
