Was better than expected. Lovely staff, very modern. Has a lift which was great as i had my elderly mother with us. The Pool & Spa is a plus. Recommend.
I was really impressed with my stay at the Auto Lodge New Plymouth. The room was spotless and comfortable, the food was delicious and the customer service was excellent. I would definitely stay again.
A great place to rest your head after a hard day's work. Closer to town than think , closer to the coastal walkway than your realise , great location.
