A homeless man enjoyed an all-expenses-paid stay at a plush hotel used for isolating arrivals in Auckland after wandering in off the street, in what could be the making of a Kiwi folk hero. It is understood the man walked into the Crowne Plaza in central Auckland, currently being used for the mandatory 14-day isolation period required of new arrivals to New Zealand. Michael Woodhouse revealed the man bluffed his way into an Auckland hotel during a television interview on Thursday morning but did not specify which one. Stuff can exclusively report the hotel was the four-star Crowne Plaza in Albert Street. “Whether you are travelling for business, pleasure, or a little bit of both, Crowne Plaza Auckland hotel will be your home away from home,” it says.
