The colour on the outside was certainly unique! Not sure if I liked it or not! It did make it very easy to see from the road. Really enjoyed it here. Would definately recommend. So close to all amenities.

In a great location for amenities and getting onto the motorway. Comfortable bed and quiet unit even though it was on a busy street. A bit put off on arrival as the lobby smelled of cigarette smoke, then in our room 2 lightbulbs were out and the electric blanket didn’t work!!!

I liked the convenience and access to the motel. It was local and easy to get too and close to the cities amenities. There are a few things that need upgrading eg motel towels, bed spread covers and bathroom however over all it was ok.

The property is right next to the Mall and the town centre of Porirua. So you have most amenities close by. Some shopping, restaurants and the food court, fuel, public transport and close to the motor way to get to other destinations in and around the area.

Friendly staff and management. I lucked out getting a smokers room , but not motels fault as I should of asked ahead of time . Latest checkout time 10.30 am no extra charge. Comfortable beds, quiet, even though room was on traffic road , but it's a slow miles per hour road . Lovely large shower and very cosy rooms with everything you need . We will be back again . Thank you for a great experience at the Amethyst Motel.

Another Great Stay

Helpful staff, when we parked in the staff area, we were very politely asked to move. The AirCon remote would not work for us - the reaction of the staff was "leave it with us, and we will sort it", which they did and all interactions were done with a smile and an air of nothing would have been any trouble to make our stay enjoyable.

It was clean but there were smokers outside And the window was open so it smelt smokey in my room. Adequate for the purpose.

Our general stay was ok but we noticed that one of the big towel that was included in the pile which was meant to be clean have some red spots over it that appeared to be blood ?. Also, the bathroom tiles are slippery when wet. Make sure to use the mat provided as my son slipped while having a shower.
