Even though this is over 2 years ago, I feel compelled to warn people away from this motor lodge (not a hotel) if it han't changed management since 2006/2007. I have resolved to write reviews after using so many good ones myself, so I'm paying back people's honesty. Basically - the ground apartments were dirty, ours had an ant infestation... more

I write this review sitting on the bed of a room at Parnell City Lodge. I've been here two nights and have 3 more nights to go. I checked in to reception 2 days ago which was unattended at the time. I used the telephone (as instructed) which was promptly answered and within a few seconds Carl appeared in person... more

We were after something basic in a good location and we had no booking, so a big room with three ancient beds for us and two kids was fine. We stayed in the side of the motel that seems to have only been semi-converted from some kind of boarding house. The kitchen area was only a sink and a fridge,... more

Great location and good price for proximity to the city. The room was small but nicely decorated. The details could have made our stay better though. The service was pretty indifferent and the servicing of the room was done very quickly I think. We stayed for four nights and cups were not cleaned or replaced and other details were not... more

It was great to find an apartment style suite in Parnell where i had a nice private balcony. Often easier catching the bus into the city, Link bus stops accross the road, no parking tickets that way. Love waking up here and having breakfast looking out on the balcony, looking out over mature trees, would have had nice views over... more

We had booked into the Parnell City Lodge for one night. I booked the room on the phone and spoke to Carl, at the time he seemed pleasant enough although not overly helpful. Due to unfortunate circumstances we had to postpone our trip to Auckland so I rang the motel one week before our scheduled arrival and spoke to a... more

We booked a week at Parnell City Lodge after being let down with accommodation we had already booked elsewhere in Auckland. The owner Carl was very friendly and accommodating from the original exchange of emails through to dealing with any requests we had when we arrived. We had a lovely room on the upper floor with free wireless internet connection... more

After spending a few years living in Auckland it was time to move on. Having sold my house and about to relocate to Melbourne I needed somewhere to stay on the occassions I would be in Auckland finalising my affairs. I had always loved Parnell and noticed the Parnell Village Motor Lodge primarily because of its fantastic location opposite the... more

Excellent location, shame about the room. The room had a pull out double bed and a single bed squashed in to a tiny area with a 2 seater couch and that was it. No wardrobe, no where to put your gear in the bathroom, no table... It was clean though and $90 was a good price. more
