Pullman Hotels in Auckland

This is an older hotel, and while the facilities are a bit dated, the environment is very pleasant. Our window directly overlooked Albert Park, and what's great is that the window could be opened slightly, which made for excellent ventilation. The hotel breakfast was also good. Unfortunately, because I wasn't sure if the stay would be comfortable, I only booked 2 nights initially. When I tried to book a third night, the hotel was fully booked, so I had to switch to a different hotel. I requested a late check-out, and that was quickly arranged.

Pullman Auckland Airport was supposed to be one of the more upscale hotels in my itinerary. After all, it's a global chain, but honestly, I was quite disappointed. The hardware was decent, but seriously, what's with the water pressure? Even a small motel in Australia, or anywhere abroad for that matter, has better water pressure than this place. It felt a bit like staying in a B&B in China. Plus, it has no parking, and they charge 60 NZD a day for parking. Is that price for real? Anyway, this hotel isn't great. If I ever come back, I'll definitely book the Novotel next door; it's even a few steps closer.
