This airport-region motel offered a basic room (full kitchen) and overall was comfortable. I read reviews of airport motels and the cheaper ones sound horrible... this was a bit higher in the price range and certainly was clean and well run. I liked the properly working heating with thermostat, although the bathroom was very cold. There is a nice small... more

I am devastated to read some of the reviews that have been written about Airport Goldstar motel. I would like to offer my sincere apologies for all the rudeness done by the previous manager.

My rooms have always been quite large, beds comfortable queen-size, towels/amenities very good, view toward grounds pleasant enough, & cooking facilities adequate for a... more

I stayed at the Airport Gold Star Motel for one evening whilst travelling through Auckland to the Pacific Islands. I was arriving late at night, and leaving early in the morning, so unfortunately that meant that I would miss their shuttle service. When booking, I contacted the hotel directly, and they were wonderfully helpful. They did give me details for... more
