“Nice motel to stay in, great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2011

I enjoyed my stay - it was quiet, I was away from the main block of rooms down near the restaurant and I really liked my room. The layout was good, most things were there that I needed, or the staff were responsive to providing anything else that wasn't automatically there.

The only problem I had was that the staff didn't seem to automatically clean the bathroom during my stay - only if I asked. They did replenish towels though, but I am used to most motel bathrooms being at least superficially cleaned daily.

The staff were really nice and nothing was a problem for them. Parking was good, it's so close to Newmarket and it's a lovely neighbourhood. Pretty easy to get to a variety of useful places in Auckland from here - do go up the road to the Parnell La Cigale markets if you stay! :)

“Helpful, accomodating and surprising quiet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2011

This is my third visit and the staff and Laurence are brilliant - nothing is a problem, they are all ways helpful, and ready to please. The location for me is perfect as I know Auckland and have a car - try the new De Grand Thai restruant within waling distance - best Thai meal I have had in a while.
Bed is comfortable, big TV, clean - all you need for a good nights sleep!!

“Professionalism Plus, Manager and Cleaning Staff. Great Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2011

Great location within walking distance to shops and transport. Also easy access to Newmarket and central Auckland. Room was well appointed wih fabulously comfy bed. Spacious, roomy and very clean and tidy (with air-conditioning, an absolute must for steamy days). Plenty of off-street parking. Laundry facilities, very good. Very quiet complex with a restaurant attached, Manager Mr. Laurence Lee couldn't do enough for you. Restaurant excellent, meals very appetizing & affordable "complements to the chef".
I travel to Auckland frequently and will be making this motel my base for future visits.
To management and staff...Keep doing what you're doing, the service is excellent.

“What a Lovely Motor Lodge”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2010

I can't speak hughly enough about Laurence and his lovely staff.............. I would go out of my way to stay in this Motor Lodge again. We were are large group of netball players and had to move out of a dity motel and found ourselves with Laurence. The units were lovely, clean and very welcoming. The staff was engaging and friendly they couldn't do enough for us even thou we had just turned there Motor Lodge upside down. It is very rare to recieve such proffessional customer service.

Well done Laurence & your staff

“Very Friendly Welcome”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2010

Stayed for 2 nights in Auckland at this motel. The bus stop was just up the road from the motel and so getting to and from Auckland was very easy. Friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Room was clean and comfortable - my only slight criticism was that the kitchen area could be updated....but we managed just fine.

Good Stay :)
