“Nothing too much trouble!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

Thank you to Wayne and the team at Park Lane Motor Lodge for accommodating our class trip at short notice! All rooms were clean and comfortable, mini bars were unstocked as requested, beds were moved to fit groups as required, check in was arranged smoothly (not an easy feat with this many kids)all questions were answered prior to arrival, other guests were fairly warned of our stay.
Some of the children's comments are below:
It was cool because the rooms were big, the motel was huge
It was fun, the pool, the rooms

Dear Debbie,

We were more than happy to accommodate your school group, being a 38 room motel meant it was no hassles to fit your large group in quite comfortably. It is great to read all the comments from your students and the staff members/parent helpers alike and glad to hear that everyone had such an enjoyable time.

We look forward to welcoming you all back on the next school trip.

Kind Regards,

Wayne Sharplin and Matt Durand

“We will be returning!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

We stayed for 3 nights in a penthouse room which was very clean and ticked all the boxes. The checkin was smooth and Wayne offered helpful advice on the surrounding area. The private patio was brilliant, we spent our afternoons sitting in the sun enjoying a glass of wine. We also enjoyed a night at the harness racing which is right across the road from the motel. Thankyou, see you again.

Dear Guest,

Thank you very much for your positive Feedback. We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed our lovely penthouse rooms and were lucky enough for the weather to be great during your stay so you could really make the most of the private balconies. I agree we are in a great location for the harness racing over the road and glad to hear you had a very enjoyable time. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future and hope the weather will be just as perfect for you then.

“Amazing..............”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

Not only is the motor lodge easy to find,easy to park and conveniently situated, it is very clean and comfortable. We arrived with extra party members on a very busy weekend.The manager - Wayne Shaplin went out of his way to accommodate us all. He organized transport to a major sporting venue and gave invaluable advice to make our weekend memorable.
This excellent service is rarely seen,and we will most certainly be booking in again when we visit Auckland.

Room Tip: The family rooms are lovely.......bright ,light and airy. The kids(aged 18 -22) loved being up in th...

“Not impressed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

person found this review helpful

Aged would be an understatement. Power points loose on the walls, atrocious paint job - i think they used a two inch brush to "cut in". Having said that, I did call late on a Sunday evening and the owners were very accommodating, leaving a key and note for our after hours arrival. Would I recommend it? If you are in and out and it is just a bed for the night, sure. I wouldn't plan on having a holiday there though.

Dear Guest,

I am very glad that you had the chance to experience our great customer service even thought you were checking in after our office hours, and that you would still recommend our property as a place for an overnight stay.

We thank you for your feedback regarding the room itself and will be looking into the way in which the power fittings are secured to the walls (check to make sure no one has removed the screws etc.).

Since your stay we have had a painter at the property who has made several touch ups, as after looking into it I would have to agree there are a few places where the painting job done by the old managers has been quite shocking, so thank you for bringing this to our attention and giving us the opportunity to work on this for all our future guests.

I hope that we will get the chance to welcome you back again in the future, even if it is just as a great location to spend the night while working in the area.

Kind Regards,

Wayne Sharplin & Matt Durand

“Friendly but ageing”

person found this review helpful

A pleasant enough stay in rooms that are reasonably spacious, but which are now a bit dated. Some fittings didn't work fully, and the sound-proofing between rooms could be better.
The owners however were outstandingly friendly and helpful and would be a reason to return.

Handy location and good parking.
