Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and cool. My only issue was the front desk was unmanned (due to a holiday) and in order to check in, I had to call to get a key code. This was not obvious as the signage was "We've stepped away for a bit, but we'll be back shortly". Another guest came over to tell us to call. Otherwise the stay was nice.

Parking was next to a derelict car. What can I say in favour of the room? The lamp shade was nice. other than that the room was appalling. The room was very smelly, old, tatty, damaged worktops, damaged shower, no Jug/kettle, no hairdryer. Amenities were very basic. Curtains were tatty. The staff were unhelpful. The lady who gave us the keys insisted on taking my credit card details to cover "incidentals" The photos in their brochure is of a new block. We were put in the older rooms which need bowling over.

A little tricky getting out into traffic as right on the intersection of a busy road at rush hour times even on a saturday. But friendly staff, clean and fresh room. When we got back to our room someone else had taken our park in front of our room, however we could still park in the hotel gounds. All in all great place to stay

Simple and welcoming

The host was welcoming and the unit was tidy. It was an older part of the complex but the room was suitable for an overnight stay. I have stayed here previously in the newer units which are nice. Unfortunately, the hot water did not work which was frustrating for showers in the morning. Hopefully that was fixed after our stay.

Disliked: Amenities
We booked two studios. The location is excellent however the rooms have a lot of issues. We had broken drawers, no tea towels, no facecloths, no toilet roll holder, broken towel rail, expired milk sachets, no storage in one room, no sky but sign says has 60 sky channels, broken light switches and power outlets were disfigured, dirty cups, dishwashing liquid in Pepsi and Powerade bottles, 1 pillow each on bed per person. If you want a cheap motel to just sleep overnight and spend little time in then that’s fine but really needs some TLC and updating.

No complaints. Staff are lovely, attentive, informative & helpful. Place was clean. Love the basics that are provided with the spot. Free wifi and parking. To my surprise there was an iron & dryer provided too. Bed comes with electric blanket but our one wasn’t working although we didn’t care. There’s a microwave, pots, stove, mini fridge. Love that there’s a heat pump in the room. Good middle spot between Lowerhutt and Petone. Definitely a good spot, if you have no where to go, are travelling etc. I would say it’s good for the price.

Pretty disappointed to say the least wished I'd spent a bit more money and gone somewhere else. It started with the photos on here leading me to believe we had a nice unit (obviously from the new side, didn't know at the time) to find we got put in the old side not a big problem but found the front door peeling like it could have seen better days, parking not so great in that area for a ute so I shifted to some other parks. Now we get inside the squashed fly on the ceiling is not appealing and instantly made us feel like this place is disgusting. It only got worse from there bathroom light smelled like it was electrical burning turned it off and I stayed up for about an hour to make sure it didn't catch on fire (on this note we got delayed on the ferry and didn't get to motel until between 12.30am and 1am) informed them in the morning about that before we left. What looked to be blood drip on the wall above the queen bed. When we got up that morning we took the sheets off our beds as we were leaving to find the mattress protectors on some of the beds were dirty with blood and/or dirt??? A couple of other things but as i didn't take photos of them I won't say them. I would never stay there again.
