Also check with hotel staff, what similar medication would be available within or near your hotel. Specifically you should bring disinfectant sprays, disposable anti-bacterial wipes, liquid soaps, bedspreads, air fresheners (e.g. EcoQuest brand), disposable plastic bags, cups, cutlery and a first aid kit.

Check Cleaning Schedule
Also maybe check with hotel staff their cleaning schedule, what items are cleaned, specifically how cleaning is performed, and if quality cleaning disinfectants and practices are implemented. If you are susceptible to sickness, make sure to have on hand specific medical (medicines, inhalers, etc) and bacterial disinfectant supplies, and inform hotel staff, as many have a doctor on call.
Hygiene Cleaning Procedures
When in your hotel room, first check the bedspread and any linen, and ask when they were last cleaned and specifically how. Were they washed with quality detergents or dry-cleaned? Perhaps remove the bedspread and shake it, then maybe spray with disinfectant before even sitting on it. Ask when the kitchen items were last cleaned, and maybe clean them, particularly glassware.

Hotel Hygiene cleanliness is important with many usable room items, including kitchen and food utensils. Therefore apply disinfectant spray or hand tissue wipes to taps, door and window handles, telephones, kitchenware, toilet handle and seat, remote controls and other push button objects, e.g. the television, microwave, and heater switch controls. The idea is to terminate any germs present. Remember as noted, clean hotel bedspreads, and any seats.

Washing Your Hands
Remember to wash your hands properly with soap and warm water, and/or an anti-bacterial or sanitizer liquid. Then hand dry with a towel, and preferably a warm hand air blower afterward. Effective hand washing will reduce the spread of potential germs and bacteria from touching any potential source. Also dispose of any paper hand towels, and general rubbish properly, perhaps in sealed disposable bags. Check the hotel hygiene policy, including rubbish removal.

Research Hygiene Reviews and Policy
Personal hygiene is important, but also is proper implementation practices to reduce the likelihood of getting sick. Hygiene focused hotels will have a strict procedure, and adhere to a quality guideline or policy. Research online at hotel sites, of any quality hygiene standards, and also review sites (e.g. TripAdvisor) to assess what other travelers are saying about hotel hygiene. You should then be better informed about hygiene practices for hotel accommodation, and with these tips, to select a hotel of your choice in Auckland City.
