Staff was nice. Room was ok but was not clean under the beds there was rubbish and socks from when other people had stayed . I had a toddler so it wasnt ideal for her to be rolling on the ground gross. The plugs didnt fit the Sinks .And stains on the Under sheets the covered the bottom of the beds. Thats probly why they dont clean under there coz u cant see unless u look under yourself. Any way it served its purpose some wea to sleep. Probly wont be back.

I found this motel to be good value for money. My room was clean and to my liking. Even though it was located on a main road, I found my room to be quiet and I hardly heard any noise from either the traffic or from other guests. I would stay here again.

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.

Not trying to bag on this place, but it is kind of a dump. If it fits your budget, then there’s nothing wrong with it. I had a family of five, it just didn’t meet our needs. More than one night here and my wife would file divorce…..
