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.

Everything was good. Room clean and everything worked good. Only issue was on checkout and had asked about breakfast options. They suggested the buffet at the Grand, but they didnt offer or know about the buffet at the Horizon.
