The staff was fantastic, from the valet, reception, wait staff and to the cleaning staff. All were very attentive and professional. Our room exceeded our expectations. The location of the hotel could not have been better. It was in the heart of the of the Central Business and Sky City Entertainment districts with the Auckland Harbor an easy walk to catch a ferry to neighboring islands, Casino was just across the street. If there is one area of improvement or change, I would suggest their restaurant offer the option to order breakfast via a menu rather than just a breakfast buffet as the only option if you wanted to have breakfast in the restaurant. There were however, several restaurants near by that offered made to order breakfasts. On my next trip to Auckland, I will be returning to The Grand by Sky City, I highly recommend this hotel.

Nice modern hotel but a little on the pricey side as it likely caters to the casino crowd. A bit of walk to other restaurants and shopping but otherwise pretty convenient. Excellent hotel for those looking for a lot to do in the immediate area as the casino draws people to the area.
