The Grand by SkyCity
I was very impressed with this hotel. The beauty is that there is a bus that takes you from the airport next to the hotel. 2 minutes walk.

Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland
Very good stay. Room is small but cozy. I got a 10 dollar food voucher everyday because I did not need room service, and what was enough to pay for my breakfast at cafe.
