Stayed here two nights. Took advantage of special deal on studio rooms. I did book short notice. First night was in older room close to road. This room was quite noisy and a little dated. However it was scrupiously clean and comfortable. I talked to reception the next morning and they moved me without fuss to a room within the... More

We booked this motel thinking it was near Adelaide CBD. It's a long way out. Free courtesy bus from airport and driver/motel manager took us on a tour if the local area to acclimatise us. Very friendly. Trip into Adelaide CBD was easy on public transport.

We booked the hotel based on reviews and being within easy distance to the airport and Auckland. This was one of the only two good points about this place. It is the sort of hotel that if I had of driven passed would have said I would never stay there. Upon arrival (we had booked through Agoda), our booking was... More

We had not planned on staying here but due to the less than idea conditions in a city motel ( see review on All Seasons) went looking for a place south of Auckland to base ourselves. The front of the motel looks fairly ordinary, and we had some reservations when driving up, but how looks can be deceiving. What a... More

This hotel is in a great location to the airport, close enough but in a suburb with shops and restaurants. We were able to walk around a nice friendly area of Auckland. A fantastic Thai restaurant is just down the street, but book as its busy. The hotel had great security and good sized rooms. We enjoyed it. Very comfortable.

We stayed there in 2011 on our way to the Cook Islands.It was recommended to us by a worker from the hotel that we were staying at, and she was right. We were very pleased with the rooms and enjoyed our stay until we checked out. So I will definitely recommended this motel to any traveller either alone or with... More

Although close to airport, make sure to prearrange free shuttle to avoid expensive transport(cancels out savings). Apparently shuttle isn't available every day, frustratingly. Good: walk to Thai Secreymt Garden restaurant for really good food in a unique atmosphere. Not so good: housekeeping, shuttle as above, staff weren't helpful. Wouldn't stay here again

We were part of a group staying here, and the host couldn't have been more accommodating. Ron, Muriel and their staff were always there to give recommendations of places to eat, and places to go. Our stay there was lengthy so having the laundry available was such an added bonus. We were able to access a rental car from them... More

Good hosts but the soundproofing is almost non-existent. I could hear every word said in the room next door as well as slamming drawers television and arguments. I had the misfortune to be there for an extended period and it was just awful. Terrible area. I guess it depends on your expectations but 4 stars it is not.

Unfortunately, I have to say that the comments made here are not quite fully described. Due to my belief that the circumstances under which you stayed in our Motel are private I cannot expand on the matter fully. You refer to a single occasion to which the matter was resolved quickly and with your appreciation. I can only say let... More
