Bed was comfortable, room warm, good hot shower, a comfy couch to sit on, will stay again Checked in early & host was very accommodating. This is my 3rd stay on Great South Rd & the best so far
Can't think of anything
Clean and tidy and worked well for our family
Comfortable and warm room with great shower pressure
Good location and the room was very clean. The staff were very accommodating and friendly.

The accommodation is quiet place and close to the entry of highway and easily drive up to the highway in a couple minutes. Not far away from the airport.
The accommodate is a little bit old style but clean and comfort. The drive-in of this Motel is not easy enough.
clean and grear location
microwave was very small

Clean and comfortable room. I really appreciate the complimentary water and milk, which were very helpful! Convenient location for shopping and public transportation.
None.
Great to have a separate bedroom and large table. Loved the space. So quiet. Bus stop right outside on both sides of the road and train station within walking distance. Restaurants nearby. Friendly and helpful staff.
N/a
Close to what we needed
Little expensive
Liked the trees and gardens around thd units. Very functional unit, good size bathrooms,
Slightly tricky path to unit (but thankfully, pp no steps) for person with compromised walking ability.
Friendly host … close to where we wanted to be and value for money
Good location
Hard pillows; kitchenette equipment was the absolute minimum
An older motel, but a goodie. Because of the access to motorway, Newmarket shops and food; and huge parks like One Tree Hill and the Domain. Great fridge /hotplate or even an oven in some rooms. Staff exceptional, especially when I misread my dates, they worked "overtime" to accommodate us anyway. Much appreciated. Tx
Power points were adequate to charge 4 devices overnight.
The staffs were extremely helpful and carried our heavy luggage to the room for us. The room was quiet and comfortable. Very good price for a room like this during high season.
Clothes dryer did not work properly.
Very central and very friendly staff
Appartement très grand avec 2 chambres , l'essentiel pour cuisiner, une grande salle de bain, place de parking. Petite terrasse Accueil très chaleureux et personnel arrangeant

Die Lage ist super. Der Bus in das Zentrum ist vor dem Haus und zum New Market ist nur 10 Minuten Fussweg. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und gab uns gute Tipps. Preis- Leistung in der Stadt ist extrem gut.
Prima prijs-kwaliteitsverhouding. Locatie is prima, new market en mount Hobson op loopafstand en openvaar vervoer (bus 70) is tegenover motel. Personeel was uiterst vriendelijk en meedenkend.
Staff was extremely helpful
The customer service was better than I have had at 5 star resorts. They were so hospitable. On top of this everything was very clean and tidy. Great for the price
It wasn’t really an issue for us but no fly screens on the windows which if hotter and wanting windows open might have been an issue
Very kind staff, clean room, quiet neighbors. Close to shopping mall.
Rooms were well presented and comfortable.
One of our rooms had coffee etc but no coffee cups and no milk supplied.
Attentive staff, spacious room, comfortable bed
Great location handy to restaurants
Proximity to city and sightseeing. Close to public transport Clean room,
Easy to get to

Friendly, helpful efficient staff! The rooms here are always spotlessly clean. Excellent value.
Clean, simple & great staff
Very close to the city but quiet
Nothing. Great value for money
Awesome care from our hosts, perfect location for public transport to anywhere, easy walk to Newmarket for restaurants and shops
Clean, cool, roomy.
No ability to leave windows open at night securely. Sliding windows could have a rod to put in the track to prevent opening further. Odd to have plates for 2 people, glasses/mugs for 4 people in a suite that can take 4 - didn't impact stay, probably could have gotten extra on request.
Location, price, nice modern room and staff very friendly and accommodating

Such great value for money! Very tidy little room, very spacious and just what I needed ☺️
Location - was central to where I needed to go. Bed- really comfy and clean. Room - were spacious and fresh
The location was great and the rooms were clean, tidy and modern. The staff were very friendly and accommodating
Rooms could have been closer (eg side by side instead of upstairs and downstairs) but it wasnt really an issue
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The window seals in the bathroom were old.
Remotes for air-conditioning and TV were present, both utilities worked. Both shower and toilet very clean. Every thing was clean and tidy.
No kitchen sink.
Le personnel est très agréable!
Clean and spacious
Would have liked fresh milk in the fridge
All thast above plus great value for money. Enjoyed the peace and securit rest.
I would of love them put a guest book or note pad and pen somwhere or note As in my 3day stay I left early and arrived back late and tired just wanting to rest up for next day. My stationery was packed up somewhere👍🏽🫶🏾
I loved the location, very friendly helpful staff and comfortable clean room. I asked for a full length mirror and it was in room on arrival. Very satisfied customer😊
No complaints from me. Excellent value for money.
Location was good and price was reasonable compared to anywhere else
Gardens were unkept. 2 slice toaster rather than 1 slice
location is good,
Fridge is noisy, can't sleep well in the lounge, no fresh milk for coffee tea, no fan in the bathroom, very vet after shower
Location suited as we were at the Global 7's at Dilworth School
N/A
Room is clean and well maintained. Linens, bathroom and kitchenette were all clean. The staff is very friendly and were able to meet our needs with respect to checking in earlier, holding on to our luggage after checkout. We needed a clean and quiet place and it delivered well on both aspects. The staff sweetly handed us some Lindt chocolates as a Christmas treat which was very sweet
No complaints really.
Room was clean and quiet. Beds were comfortable. Staff were very helpful. Good parking. Easy walk to Newmarket.
Relaxed vibes, clean rooms and great location. This was our second stay and we will be back
Comfortable bed. Clean room.
Cooking facilities ie no microwave so I had to get takeaways. takeaway shops were closed by 7.30pm.
This is our 2nd time to stay there, as we know the set up, location and, especially the comfortableness. They maintain the level of their sevice, which we're appreciated. This motel is always handy and worths to pay.
At the beginning their sign could not be seen at night as it seemed there was some problem with lighting, but after the guys came and fixed, it perfectly worked again :)
Spacious rooms, bed was very comfortable, location convenient and lovely staff - very helpful!
Very friendly staff and suited our purpose.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Having to use water from the bathroom to fill the jug or to rinse cups etc. Not enough toilet paper on arrival, one roll but the staff were accommodating when we requested another.
地點不錯且老板很親切

Value for money, basic motel but clean and tidy
I feel a number of repairs would Improve things with such as you could a few floor boards broken under the carpet..not things that impacted our stay but for long term continued health and safety and upkeep of the motels they would be beneficial
Place was clean and quiet. Staff was accommodating as well. Will book again next time. Room was spacious enough.

Our second time staying here and we loved it again. Great location, easy parking, super clean, quiet, comfortable, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely keep choosing this place every time we come to Auckland.
Good price for location nice staff
No towel racks, bed average, kitchen lacking
Great location, close to everything in the city. Just no walkable distance from cafe or restaurant.
A bit older and tired. Lots of things are patched up but could really do with renewing.
We felt very well looked after by the friendly staff. Despite being next to a main road, you don't hear much of the traffic at all and it feels peaceful coming back after a day in town. The bed was comfortable, too. We stayed for 3 nights. We could walk to our skin specialist appointments and also walked to the big shopping centre complex Westfield. My go to public swimming pool was also in walking distance. We will be staying here again on our next Auckland trip. Everything worked, we were comfortable and it was very clean. Good shower pressure too, and everything as advertised. We've booked a relatively cheap accommodation so do not expect a luxury unit.
Good price. Big room. Very clean. Quiet. Great air conditioning.
No fresh milk for tea and coffee.
It was our home for a week! So clean and tidy, Jaden and James were nice and helpful to us! the location is just ten min by bus to city centre .Definitely recommend this place
The friendly owner, the location and great value for money.
I can’t think of anything
A basic and reasonably priced accommodation handy to hospital which is what I needed
limited kitchen supplies, e.g. one teaspoon
once i found it, it was a good place to stay. staff were wonderful and called me to ensure my arrival time, leant me a charger as i forgot one and were generally really kind and welcoming. rooms themselves were nice comfortable. easy to get back on motorway
no tv in bedroom.
The hotel was clean and the beds was comfortable, they even gave us water bottles each day (we were there for 2 nights). The motel was close to supermarket, shopping center and not too far from the central business district (cbd). It seems like they are still doing some renovating. The rooms seemed to be newly painted and family owned and they were really kind, friendly and accommodating and gave us the better parking space to park our van.
The bathroom has 2 steps to go to the shower and toilet.
The location was lovely and the staff went above and beyond to help out when we were in a bind with the new car we brought. The room was kept extremely clean and well stocked our whole stay. The location was great and close to some great eateries. I highly recommend this place.
Very friendly staff. Thanks
Lovely room and super service.
