We felt safe, valued and had a great stay despite the minor challenges. Would love to stay again.
Pros:

The service at the front desk was variable. We received confusing advice on more than one occasion : re the room air conditioning and were told on one occasion that the restaurant was not open when, in fact , it was.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff at the bar. You have an amazing team down there and they quickly made us feel comfortable and important. The drinks were a delight and I can say with certainty that it was there that I had the very best Espresso Martini I have ever enjoyed.... ( I am fussy about them. )The food was amazing with the pork belly proving to be absolutely divine. We ate twice at Hippo and once at the bar and both experiences were memorable for all the right reasons. Wonderful staff up there, also.

Cons:

Our first meal at the restaurant the service was very slow, however that was a one off. The service on the next occasion was incredible.
The front desk people were not always up to date with the actual details about the hotel, we found the young women more approachable than many of the men.
We would have appreciated some information in our room about the area and also the TV. Two old biddies, we were challenged by such things as " what is close by" and how to work the TV with 2 controls!

Massive rip off
Pros:

The beds were pretty comfy and the location was quite handy.

Cons:

It cost $55 for valet parking (only parking available), where they just parked right out front of the property and didn’t even bring it around at the end of the stay, just gave us the keys and had to find the car ourselves - we would’ve been better off just parking at the museum across the road ($30 for a day and undercover). Don’t bother with valet parking, it’s a rip off and a complete waste.

The shower was leaking from all holes and the hose and barely worked and just sprayed water in every direction, it was also pretty dirty.
The TV didn’t work properly and didn’t have any ability to cast and the room service was pretty average for how expensive it was ($39 for an average burger).
We stayed in QT Auckland and here, QT Auckland was phenomenal- this was a huge letdown.
