Conference Services in Western Springs

21st February 2012
I have been staying at the Amora (formerly the Duxton) regularly for the past 10 years both on business and personal travel. I hadn't been there in a while since I decided to try a few of the newer places in town for a bit of a change. My wife and I recently returned here for two nights over the weekend, and I am happy to say that it still is one of our favourite places to stay in Auckland. Large airy well-appointed rooms with plenty of natural light, decent baclonies with sliding doors and opening windows, huge king beds, good kitchen facilities and very secure car parking. The fittings and general overall feeling is of quality, unlike some of the newer budget apartment/hotels on offer. There are a now a lot of apartment style accommodations in Auckland, but they can be hit and miss both with the quality of the room and the level of service - check my other reviews for further information. With the Amora I have never had a bad room. Yes it's a bit away from the newly redeveloped waterfront area, but you can get there easily with a nice 15 minute walk or a short cab ride. And anyway I think the location is actually a positive; whichever side you are on you get either a park view or a nice leafy street view. We were both really happy with our stay and wondered why we'd been trying all these other places when the Amora is so good. We will definitely be back.
