Not a great place to have breakfast but there are lots of options close by. If you have a car, they charge $36 to park it over night.

This property is simply next level in decor, comfort and staff. Breakfast was wonderful including freshly squeezed Kiwi juice (what a treat for my first visit to Auckland and New Zealand). Obviously a well managed property! Bravo!
