This hotel is in need of a serious upgrade, whilst the TV was a large size with a few extra channels the accommodation misses basics like a microwave aircon and soap. The oven door will not open unless the front door is open or you force it past the door handle and the fridge does not keep the items cold... More

Handy location with prompt pick-up both to and from Auckland airport. Clean, well serviced room. Very warm night made pleasant by good air circulation from windows and crisp cotton sheets. Personal attention and help from manager re. car storage.

While looking at reviews for hotels for my next trip to Mexico I happened across my favorite little Auckland motels reviews and was quite surprised by the harshly negative posts here. I feel compelled to at least offer my two cents worth about my experiences there to hopefully offer a more balanced review base. Through 2012 I spent 6 months... More

The motel is walking distance to mangere town centre. It is clean and tidy. There is a nice swimming pool, and the motel has calm and tranquil surroundings, in a safe location. And it is also close to manukau airport. The service is quite friendly too.

Close to the airport so that is convenient. The rooms are good, not too small, and regularly cleaned and maintained. Internet access is good, and I like the outdoor pool. About 10 minutes walk from mangere town centre and pak-n-save supermarket. Communication between the owners and the cleaners could be better, but overall its a good place for a short... More

Regretfully I cannot recommend this motel. I chose this motel due to it being close to Auckland Airport and that they offered a curtesy airport pick up. I made the booking by phone and was quoted a rate for 5 adults and assured my friends arriving at 1130pm would be picked up from the airport. I checked in first early... More

Near the airport so that's good for a one-nighter. Car was not broken into so that's good too. But otherwise, room is old and tired. Walking distance to nothing. We paid $195 for the large family room (for 4) and this was as complete ripoff... Would not stay again.

Thank you for staying with us. We were quite disappointed to see your review but have nonetheless taken it into consideration. We have recently had all the units painted and some of the bathrooms re-tiled. We plan to refurbish the bathrooms one by one as well. Regarding your issues with the location, there are dairy shops 100m away and some... More

Ours was a one nighter. We arrived early evening and left very early morning. The room was acceptable and comfortable with all the neccessaries, heaps of room. I would say this is probably slightly better than your average Kiwi Motel/Hotel which nationally is rather tired and decrepid and can be a real eye opener in some cases. However you cannot... More

Advertised as a "family motel" in Jasons but pleased this was for only a one night stop enroute to the airport. Other than being handy to the airport the location generally not good. Nothing like the photos in Jasons. Rooms smelt, carpets felt filthy and unit generally unkept and run down. In need of some maintenance. The only plus was... More
