Dodgy motel, greeted by someone in their PJ's smoking at reception, receptionist told us to park under the security camera just to be sure vehicle wasn't broken into. once in the room, which is through a rabbit warren, the room smelt musty, vanity was broken, old milk left in the fridge and the sofa bed had old sheets on it. Needless to say we did not stay, lost our money but stayed down the road and felt much safer in a clean and tidy room. Would never recommend this establishment!!

Our shower pressure was amazing but the shower holder clip was broken and showering was near impossible. The bathroom extractor fan wasn’t working so steam and odours remain trapped in the bathroom unless aired into the whole room. The fold out couch had stains on the cushions and dipped

Not from Auckland. This was a decision made at the last minute. Since traffic is very bad in akl we had to travel a day & spent a night. For a cheap room, it is what is expected. I booked this motel because it was a 10 mins drive to my 0800 appointment this morning. We had a good sleep. Very busy area.
