Disappointed
We didn’t end up staying we checked out due firstly to the odour that emanated through the hotel from permanent residence living in the hotel. The room itself was unkempt bathroom was grott, toilet seat coming off and cupboards falling apart. dirty floor.
Beds were dishevelled. TV was on in room like someone had been staying in the room in vacated just as we arrived.
In the room for a period of approximately 15 minutes before leaving hotel. Very disappointing to arrive to the state that it was.

Expensive for what we got
This is an expensive hotel and it wasn’t extremely clean and the beds were uncomfortable. It was okay and worked for our one night there.

It was dirty
Pubic hair and stains all over the beds
We complained and were moved rooms
It was better but still
Dirty and big Pubic hair on the hand towel in the bathroom
I have complained directly to the hotel and given them a chance to respond before placing a public review
They have not bothered to respond
I would like to give others a heads up before booking
I don’t know if it’s their “Expedia allocated rooms” or what
But for over $200 a night
I expect a basic standard of cleanliness
Disgusted actually dirtiest place I’ve stayed in all my travels around the world

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.
