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.

Easy to find, parking inside and outside was good for my truck. Would of like to know before that pool and spa heater not working. Comfy bed, shower so powerful had to be careful it didnt go everywhere. Stayed 2 nights, rubbish not taken, towels and amenities not replaced.

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.
