The McCentral Apartments offer modern and clean rooms, but the lack of air conditioning can be challenging with only a portable unit. The location is convenient for transport and shopping, but better ventilation is needed. Staff interactions vary from amazing to unhelpful, impacting the overall service experience.

The rooms are modern, clean, and spacious, but lacking air conditioning necessitates the use of a portable A/C unit that is not very effective.

The hotel's location is ideal for teenagers with its proximity to Rainbow's End and various fast-food outlets. The rooms, however, were uncomfortable due to a lack of windows and stuffiness, leading me to switch to another hotel nearby. The unhelpful and rude receptionist added to the unpleasant experience.

The rooms were well-lit but uncomfortably hot and stuffy, with evidence of a previous burglary attempt.

The hotel is conveniently located close to the southern motorway, Auckland Airport, and Westfield Manukau, making it a practical choice for many. The rooms come equipped with excellent kitchen and bathroom/laundry facilities in-room, although they lack windows and feel a bit small and basic.

Rooms
7.0
The rooms are well situated for easy access to key areas like the southern motorway, Auckland Airport, and Westfield Manukau. They offer great kitchen and bathroom/laundry facilities inside. However, the rooms are a bit airless due to the lack of windows and might feel too simple and cramped.
Service
5.0
Dealing with the staff was a mixed experience. While some were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond, others, especially one of the late-night shifts, seemed lazy and had an off-putting attitude. Unfortunately, the receptionist we encountered was deemed the MOST UNHELPFUL and ARROGANT I've ever come across in my travels.
Location
8.0
The hotel's location is perfect for exploring Manukau, being close to shops, cinemas, and public transport options. Additionally, the proximity to the soon-to-be-completed Manukau Bus station adds to its convenience. Although clean and well presented, a reply to an email about a bed bug situation is still awaited, hinting at a potential oversight.
Dining
6.0
Dining options are limited, with the availability of Italian products. In-room dining convenience is a plus, but there seems to be room for improvement in terms of variety and offerings.
Facilities
6.0
While the hotel offers basic amenities, like dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry services, there were some hiccups in our experience, such as difficulty locating the owner for an urgent matter related to parking. The room amenities could be more diverse and convenient.
