Affordable and great for a one-night stay after Metallica. Beds were comfy and warm, and the office staff was outstanding—friendly and helpful. Room upkeep could be improved, but overall it was a pleasant, clean, and convenient stopover.

Average stay

Parking is onsite limited and very tight. I would suggest moving that middle but so that cars can come and go without worrying someone will hit your car overnight. Rooms are average but equivalent to what you pay for

My third Covid-19 ruined Auckland Trip

I had to mark off all of the categories to be able to comment here. This group voluntarily kept my booking open for 6 months, which I really appreciated. I have already lost money on bookings with Covid-19 & this is my first show of compassion. With Covid-19 announcements being spontaneous, even free cancellations do not always apply.

This is a straightforward and perhaps basic motel but we have stayed here on visits to Auckland over the years because it is very handy to Newmarket and the city, it is clean and tidy and has good-sized studio rooms with very good bathrooms. The current staff Hong (manager) and James are very helpful and friendly.

While this is a fairly basic motel, we have stayed at it on a fair number of occasions over the past decade because it is handy to the parts of Auckland we come to visit. The present manager, Hong Tang, is a treasure -- one of the friendliest and knowledgeable people I have met in an accommodation place.

Great traditional hotel, but grim rubber mattress

Thanks for a lovely stay. The only problem was the bed. It had been covered with a rubber topper, making it nearly impossible to sleep on due to getting hot underneath and repeatedly turning over.

Location was good. Value was for money was good, though the other motel I stay at was also good but it appears the booking agencies whack up prices due to demand, but I believe there was no demand as some of the rooms in both places were vacant. Windows were missing part of their latches so they don’t seal, making the rooms noisy. It appears the proprietors run them into the ground to make money. The steps to my room seem like they need to be renewed, perhaps they will wait until someone gets injured. I missed having proprietors who are interested in their guests.

We were a bit disappointed there was no sink to wash the dishes etc, we had to use the vanity sink in the bathroom. Although the unit was quite warm after using the heater, we could not find any extra blankets for the bed, there was no electric blankets, and the extra pillows available were not worth finding. Overall, the motel provided a roof over our heads and a place to sleep.
