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.

Horizon by SkyCity
Great breakfast buffet, but make sure you pay in advance - adding it on after checking in is a bit expensive - about $45 USD. Other than the hotel offers a premium hotel with great facilities. Free WiFi, a gym, and very helpful staff at a reasonable price/
