Independent Rodney District hotels

"Our bed was so uncomfortable and the pillows and room stunk, the carpet was threadbare and the tiles were broken."

"Parking was safe. Room looked onto the parking area. It was not very private. You needed to keep the curtains closed. The shower area was not very clean."

"We love the Nautilus. This is our first time in a studio and we wished we had a microwave. Other than that. this is a great place to stay."

"Easy parking, central location, pleasant staff. Very outdated, handyman quality renovation in bathroom."

"Room was adequate but small. Patio area for Blue Room was on walkway to the pool so no privacy and a bit noisy. Common areas and kitchen were very nice. Convenient and good location for walking to town."

"After staying in many motels in NZ over the last three months this motel was by far the best! Friendly staff, clean, very well equipped, we stayed in the family unit and everything needed was supplied - highly recommend this motel!"

"The room was very clean and tidy. The staff were exceptionally helpful and the location is just stunning. I’d love to highly recommend this place – but don’t want too many people to find out about it :) "

"The room was perfectly clean, it was fine! The shower in the bathroom had cracked floor tiles which isn’t a good look. The hairdryer wouldn’t work and needed a new adapter which was supplied on request. We had difficulties with the tv which seemed to have to have the remote pointed at it from directly in front. However when we checked in, we were asked if we wanted to have breakfast, for $25.00 each. We said yes, and assumed that we were paying for a continental/ cooked breakfast. (There is no fruit option we discovered )I had already written that I had dietary restrictions as I’m a coeliac, however the only GFO option was the cooked option and so the bread was omitted! I queried he baked beans and just assumed the breakfast sausage was g/f. My mistake! Suffered for the next 30 hours. Would we go back? Not a chance! Also we were there for a wedding function, and apparently there was a 15% discount. But!! because my booking was from Expedia they wouldn’t honour it! Said we should have booked direct! "

"The manager, the restaurant, the vibe all good. Food excellent place v. Good "
