Hmmmm. I stayed at this property on a 'walk-in' basis during a recent driving trip in NZ. The Auto Lodge Hamilton is located on a strip with numerous motels - so I guess competition is pretty strong. I was travelling by myself, so only wanted a single room. The lady on the front desk only wanted to sell me a... More

These people are difficult to deal with. Trying to get thru to people with very little english is bad enough, but the man that I tried to cancel our room with had no grasp of what I was saying and did not cancel a room which ended up costing me $220.00. Never again.

Was met by a lovely receptionist and after asking the price of a room booked in as was a drive in. Did not think the $90.00 charge for the room was worth what was there. The room was dated and old fashioned & it was quite hard to flush the toilet. The free internet did not work and had someone... More

Stayed here for 2 nights on a visit to Hamilton. Room was clean and tidy but very pokey, bathroom dated, best thing was the size of the tv. Relatively quiet at night . Walls and ceiling not very sound proof as we could hear the people upstairs going to the toilet first thing in the morning, not that great!! Was... More

I got a Wotif 'flaming special' price of $79 for a studio suite [for one person in my case but price catered for 2] so my review is colored by that fact. I may have been a little surprised at the older but adequate bathroom/kitchenette areas if I had paid the usual $115. But the other great services and facilities... More

I needed a break from my camper van and to get some Internet work done. Stayed in one of the rooms with the hot tub. It was well kept and fair priced. I walked the hotel strip over the couple days I was there and found Auto Lodge to be one of the better kept hotels. Free wifi helped. For... More

Basic amenities for a couple who just stayed for a night. Location-wise, it's slightly outside town, so it'll be recommended if you have transportation handy. Bus-stop is just at doorstep, if that's an option to you. We booked this place partially because of the free wireless internet, but the connection was only available for certain periods and was unstable.
