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
Room very good, breakfast buffet a good selection. The main restaurant has a very extensive selection, but expensive. Valet parking is a nuisance, but self parking is a nightmare. If you are driving, best stay somewhere else.
