Extraordinary seaside gem in the city
The Spencer is my dream home away-from-home. The staff are so welcoming & attend to every request or question with a smile. The rooms are large, full of light with the most fabulous views across to Rangitoto and beyond. The hotel is immaculately clean, offers a large gym & pool. I will return and can’t recommend it more. Thank you to all who made my stay so special. Jane

A seaside dreamscape in the city
Totally perfect for a peaceful stay in the city-by-the-sea! Expansive views from the spacious, well equipped rooms and kind accommodating staff have made my time here everything and more that I expected. Every day starts with the breathtakingly inspirational view, within easy reach of the city or for a seaside escape on the many local beaches.

When I reserved, June 4th this year, I specifically asked about a hotel bar and restaurant as we planned to watch the AB's vs England there, I was told yes. On arriving I asked when would the bar open, to be told bar and restaurant closed for refurbishing! I also asked about the Gold Card discount and early booking fee, to be told I'd need to contact Expedia about that! Overall basically a very overpriced venue, $500.00 for 2 nights plus parking.More of a motel than a hotel. What can be done about this please? Thanks, Jane.

Could be better
We stayed overnight here for meetings the following day and it is in a very handy spot. However, I chose this place because it has a spa and desperately wanted one due to very achy muscles. Nobody told us the spa was not working and I only found out when I went to the spa. Disappointed and embarrassed I went back to my room. I also found a pubic hair on my bed which was gross and no replacement tissues in the room when they ran out after only 4 left in the box. Was ok other than this but very dated rooms too.
