"The worst motel I’ve stayed in for ages. Untidy property; unhelpful manager; staff behaving badly (called police when my autistic son was unwell instead of just checking in on us); mould on shower curtain; radiator heating not working. And the ONLY place to take a $100 bond from me on my entire 8 night trip. Super slow process to get my cash back
Highly NOT recommended
Stay away! It’s cheap for a reason. Yuk."

"Room needed some maintenance such as broken handle of a window making it difficult to air room out in day and the door was super stiff and not on runners properly making difficult to open the door especially with a sleeping toddler in one arm. Said daily room service such as towels but there were a couple days we had no clean towels. They did provide dishwashing liquid and dish brush but no tea towel to dry dishes"

"Such a great motel for an excellent price. Bathroom was modern and the rain shower was fantastic. Electric blankets on all beds which was a nice addition for those cold nights."

"Things that the great cleaning staff would not have reason to notice:
The TV had no sound on "Live TV" (freeview) so it was not worth watching the news or weather forcast as we wanted. We tried every button we could try on the remote but could not get any sound for Live TV.
And many of the other apps supplied (Netflix, Prime, Disney, etc) needed a sign-in so no use to us.
That said, we did manage to find a suitable movie to watch - with sound.
Other observations: The light over the mirror in the bathroom was very faint - great for toileting (without blinding us) in the middle of the night. But hopeless for applying make-up, even in the daylight of morning.
Also there was no hairdryer - just on the weekend that we forgot to bring out own as we usually do.
And while we had enough light for what we needed, the main light in the middle of the room was not working.
All of that said, value for price was excellent for us. We would certainly return if we had a need for accomodation in the area."
"It’s fine for what it is. A bit old school in standard but clean. Karen who works the front desk was super helpful. The mall is literally across the road which is so convenient."
"A great hotel for family stays, the room was perfect with separate bedroom with 2 single beds for our kids and enough of a kitchen to satisfy our needs. The hotel is quiet and well located just off the end of the Petone restaurant strip and across the road from the beach."
