Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room was cold. With one broken leg oil heater. Carpet smells damp. Seat was broken. Only 1 single towel supplied. No bathmat, no hand towels and no kettle. Although there's tea supplied so I think it is weird.

Unfortunately I was running out of time to relocate due to early flight and needed to sleep. Thinking that the oil heater would warm up the room at some point but I ended up wearing so much clothes in bed to keep warm.

Not recommended.

The stay was only for one night, on the way to Auckland Airport, and for that it was good.
Pros:

The bed was very comfortable, and the room was a good size.

Cons:

There was no TV (though a TV mounting bracket clearly used to be attached to the wall, with an arterial socket nearby) and there wasn't a comfortable chair to sit in, only a somewhat tatty office chair. A guest really should have an armchair to sit in! The floor in front of the shower was VERY rotten and spongy!
