Room was spotless, spacious just perfect for myself and husband. Staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay even though it was just for a night. Would definitely recommend to family and friends who’s outside of Auckland and are looking at a place to stay. Thank you for your hospitality.

Room was clean, limited pillows and no extra blankets. Basics all there. Noisy location, which I thought it would be, as on main road, but there is no sound proofing, and neighbour next door plays loud doof doof music.

Traveled 6hours and wanted a hot shower and to settle into bed for an early morning Departure. When we turned up, our room hadn't been vacuumed. We were given a room and had to run the shower for 10mins, for it to get warm. THEN we tried to settle in bed but people were being loud/swearing etc outside the room and a child was running up and down outside our door so we had to request a new room. Thankfully, the staff member gave us another room and we were able to settle in but after travelling so long, waiting 10mins (litterally) for the shower to heat! Very inconvenient.

Parking was fine. Location was OK. It is a Motel so desk not staffed all the time for check in. We arrived at about 8pm and no one was there so had to call for someone to come. Even though I had confirmations from Expedia they still told me that 2 of the 3 rooms I booked were not paid for. Rooms were upstairs so challenging with bags for older people in our group. They were clean although they had a smoky smell and it should be a smoke free facility. Seems like they are making an effort to refurbish an older building. Some things were modern some were not. We were only there for one night. I would not stay there long term.

office unattended, had to call a number for someone off site to contact manager to check in. Cooktop was broken. Bathroom had not been cleaned, walls dirty and hair from previous guest on floor etc. Poor shower pressure. TV had no channels unless you added your own streaming service login. Lacked sufficient utensils. It was inexpensive, our cheapest motel stay of our 10day trip

When arriving to the motel there one one to hand us the key, office was empty and we had to wait almost half an hour to eneter our room. The room had an unpleadnt smell, still unaware of where it had been coming from. Both beds carried the stench and there were stains on the sheets. The bathroom door lock was broken, we had to fix the lock oursleves. The plates in the cupboard were soaked in water and were wet for some strange reason when tbey were unused.

What started out ok, called the number on the office, she came was nice, showed us our room were the towels were and air con etc.,. We thought oh nice service then she left us to it, that when it all turned bad. Took my shoes off stepped on the carpet to feel my stocks getting wet though, Then we could smell the carpet cleaner ( yuck ), the carpet was so wet, you stood on it and could see the bubble's. ( Made sense why the air con and windows were open. ) I went straight to her and asked for a different room... She said no other rooms available, so her solution was piece of square carpets on top of the wet carpet. We weren't happy so started looking for somewhere else to stay but nothing available at such sort notice. So we had to deal with it, but then we noticed Dog hair all over the floor ( we are dog owners this is beyond disgusting ) Windows weren't clean, jug had dirt all over it ( thank god I brought sanitiser to clean it and everything else we had to touch) Bathroom door had blood and other marks on it . To be honest it was like it was an emergency housing that person left so they quickly did the floors and had us in it. We went for a walk to get dinner came back to our door card not working.... the owner was sitting in his car, saw us and came and uses his master key card, yep worked... So this guy knew our card wasn't working and did nothing. I had to wait in the room while my partner went out so we could get back in again ( WHAT A JOKE )

Nous n'avons pas eu de chambre dans ce motel. Quand nous sommes arrivés, on nous a dit qu'il n'y avait plus de chambre et qu'on nous relocalisait dans un autre motel à cinq minute de là. Un motel qui ne ressemblait pas à un motel, vieux, très petit comme chambre, pas de bureau, pas de wifi, des graffitis sur les murs, salle de bain rénovée mais travaux mal exécuté. On aurait dit une vieilles maison qu'on aurait divisé les pieces pour en faire des chambres mais rien n'est terminé. Bref, très déçu!
