It was like a rave was happening till about 11pm, then some ungodly hour in the morning, they decided to do laundry collection with trolleys that sounded like a tin foil airplane slowly crashing through the entire complex. I could also not tell you what the original carpet colour is or was in our room.

Stayed in the apartment section and while they were lovely rooms, we unfortunately were missing a couple of key items in ours and it hadn’t been cleaned/checked properly from previous customers. We had no towels, no teaspoons and no oven rack or tray to bake on. Plus the kitchen bench was sticky and bathroom drawer was filthy with hair and rubbish. We normally love staying here as it’s convenient and modern but lacked servicing this time round sadly.

If you get room 26, demand a change. The swampy bit outside the bathroom window means that your room will stink of sewage all the time. I hope their apartments are in better condition cause the rest aren't. Friendly service in the fro,nt, and that's about it.

Have been staying there in the apartments for the past 3 years, due to location to eventfinda stadium rooms are great, tho this time think they could do with a fresher upper, recommended this place to many others in the cheerleading families around NZ.

The room was terrible! We had a Deluxe room which does not describe the room we stated in. North Shore is a lovely place, this rokm was the worse we have stayed in. Lots of broken ameneties, shiwer doir, toilet seat, lights, the list goes on. We had to move rooms and that wasnt much better. A refund would be not an unreasonable rewuest!
