The hotel is about 15 minutes from Auckland Airport.
I chose this hotel near the airport as my check-out time was 4am the next morning.
I could have gone from Auckland, but a taxi in the middle of the night would have been quite expensive, so I'm glad I chose this hotel.
I wanted to get some sleep early so I ate at the hotel restaurant,
and told them my check-out time (they also accommodated early morning check-out). I used trip.com's airport shuttle to arrange a taxi for 4am.
If you use this service, I recommend registering for an app called whatsApp in Japan in advance.
When I went to the counter at 4am, there were other customers and the counter staff there as usual.
There weren't any small shops nearby, but I think it's enough for an overnight stay.
