Is the hotel a high-rise building? I experience vertigo and would prefer a ground floor option.

The hotel has nine floors, but ground floor rooms can be requested during booking to accommodate specific needs.

“Apartment-style living in the heart of Auckland CBD comes at a competitive price, making it an attractive option for families or extended stays. I found that the full kitchens and laundry facilities add a layer of convenience that's hard to overlook. While some may find the maintenance inconsistent, the location alone, near key attractions and transport, holds considerable appeal.”
