Apparently a 4star residence, it's very dated and cheesy.
Not great value for money, pay slightly more for the Skycity Grand or skip altogether and go for the Heritage, similar price and nicer.
Also, the Sky Tower isn't really central Auckland.... most of the bars and restaurants are down the hill at britomart or viaduct area, this is quite a walk to and from and good luck getting a taxi to take you such a short distance!!

Dear "jumboshrimpy"
Thank you for your constructive review of SKYCITY Hotel.
We take great pride in our products & services and continue to improve our facilities with various refurbishments.
Since your last visit in June 2011, here at SKYCITY we have been busy completing the development of 4 new Restaurants and Bars and the refurbishment of the popular Fortuna buffet restaurant.
Many visitors find the SKYTower, an Auckland icon, central and in the heart of the city and I am disappointed you felt otherwise.
We look forward to welcoming you back at SKYCITY and I trust you will enjoy selecting one of the 24 Bars and Restaurants on site.
Kind Regards,
Admir Mullaaliu
Hotel Operations Manager
