Value for money as cheap and cheerful. Clean & tidy. Staff were helpful when we needed extra flannels. No noise. Would love to go back when the pool is back in service. Easy to find and only an $18 Uber ride to Eden Park for the concert,

This property has false advertising. It shows a nice pool with seating, but the pool was empty, and appears to have been for some time. Outdoor area very shabby, and there was a large dog next door which barked if it saw you. Front desk stated no pets. Unit was very clean and comfortable, but no air conditioning.

The bathroom hadn't been cleaned. There was hair on the bathrrom floor. The shower head fitting had been fixed with one screw and when the water splashed back onto and under the shower the mold and gunk which hadnt been cleaned for years streamed out. The toilet roll holder fell off the wall. Im disappointed our traditional motels are been run down by "new management"

Was pretty good for the price. There are some permanent residents at this motel which is worth pointing out. The parking out back is limited and difficult to get out of if you do discover no parking (check on foot first). Staff were nice. Had everything we needed. There was a party next door all night, not the motels fault though. Wish there had been air conditioning, quite hot.

The unit was so bad we didn’t stay there at all. It’s the worst accommodation I have ever experienced period. Dirty, ants everywhere, no toilet paper and had a strong stench. I could go on. The smell alone was enough for my wife and I to agree we didn’t want to spend 10 mins there never mind two nights that we had paid for. We be asking for a full refund. An absolute disgrace.
