[MaryD: I would personally recommend this place as it's my favourite hotel in Auckland. I've stayed there a couple of times, it also has free wifi as there is a hotspot outside the hotel area that you can access inside the hotel as well. It has free wifi in the lobby and wired/wireless access to the room for a fee.]
