Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Kitchen was ok for cooking with a hob and microwave. Staff were very helpful. Quite noisy at night.
The room was clean and tidy except when I opened the Compendium and the pages were covered in food of some sort! Reception Staff were great and overall the room pretty good with a comfortable bed. I thought it was value for money. Thanks
Overall, a great place to stay. Clean rooms, good staff and good amenities.
Only minor downside is the narrow parking spaces and plane noises but expected for its location.
Room was spotless, serviced every day, fab staff and great parking

ladies cleaning the rooms were awesome..
just a whole lot of niggly little things that all added up to my review..
no phones in rooms?...
drain was blocked...so you had to keep an eye on water level as you showered..
car parks were freaking terrible !!...
maybe not management fault as a lot of people parked like stevie wonder..
but the car parks themselves were too narrow!!..
& other stuff as well..
but i've said enough ftm..
cheers
Very pleasant. Advised shower draining very slowly and receptionist responded immediately advising they'd get plumbers in morning but provided extra towels to ensure no overflow. Slept incredibly well. Extra stand fan kept air circulating nicely. Super clean. Convenient to Manukau bus terminal, shopping and eateries.
We enjoyed staying here walking distance to everything Rainbows end , Supermarkets, just off the highway customer service felt welcoming perfect for what we needed to do
The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to sort an issue with the TV...internet access was disappointing. Being in a room right next to the pool I was awoken by people doing bombs into it after 11.30 pm, but that wasn't the fault of staff...maybe lock pool gate to restrict access at night. Nice having access to laundry facilities...would definitely stay again :)
Everything was great other than that several customers turned up with large utes and made access to other car parks difficult and risking damage. (Not something the motel could easily control but a problem all the same)
Convenience of being close to manukau shopping centre felt safe & amenities clean very good shower & spa bath. Thank you. Will stay there again when visiting Auckland for shopping from Dargaville.
The area around is a little unsafe. The entrance to the room is a sliding door with the only window to the outside so if you wanted privacy you can have any natural light. No safe deposit box. Internet was very spotty. The laminate on the counters were all falling apart. Very outdated bathroom. Bed was alright but pillows were awful. No coffee maker. For the price they are charging for this place, you are better off somewhere else.
Easy to book, friendly and great service. Arrived in the middle of the night and room was warm. With the small heater on. Especially since it is still very cold in Auckland at this time.
