Ibis Budget Auckland Airport

Practical, comfortable, convenient

The location in proximity to the airport was our reason for choosing this hotel. It was rather "no frills," but was certainly quite adequate for what we needed. They were kind enough to hold our luggage until our room was ready and they had one ready for us two hours early, which was much appreciated. The front desk staff were very professional and extremely helpful, along with being very welcoming. There's a Jamaican coffee shop in the same building that's got great coffee, too.

I didn't find the wifi policy for guests to be very accommodating. The room comes with 2 hours of complimentary wifi, after which you can purchase more time for a fee. The two hours isn't usable incrementally; from the time you logon until the time you logoff for the first time is all you get. In other words, if you want to use your wifi allocation 10 minutes at a time forget that idea--as soon as you logoff it counts as your entire free wifi allocation, be it one minute or 2 hours. That was my only disappointment with this hotel. Otherwise I was very satisfied.
