Chris
Everything about the physical stay was good and it was quiet.
We didn't receive anything to print out when we made the booking which made me a little anxious but the motel had received my booking from Expedia so it wasn't a problem. Im a little weary of the booking platforms.

The room was clean and amenities were fine. The towels weren’t really clean and there were stains on some of them. It was cool that there was Netflix on the TV. I was expecting a bit more for the price that I paid. Overall it was an average experience.
melissa
Nice and clean, lots of parking, good mattresses. 15mins to parking for eden park
Mark
Extreme weather event, unable to get through to Auckland from Wellington due to all routes being closed, yet was still charged full price!
No meet you half way, as still have to make the trip and still need somewhere to stay, but not my fault all roads were closed!
VERY UNFAIR

Shower head missing fastening so was flopping down. Fridge seal was torn, freezer compartment almost completely iced up.
Bruce
My room was spotlessly clean, lovely fluffy bathroom towels, fresh bedlinen and good utensils in the kitchen.
Daisy
Was pleasantly surprised after reading all the bad reviews. Unfortunately we were only given 1 towel but everything else was as expected. Bit run down but get what you pay for.
Murray
All good
Jessica
Air con needed as fan wasn’t suffice. Pillows were very flat, only given one each. Pool was not full
Staff were lovely and friendly and easy to deal with and place was tidy when arrived :)

Stuart
Room was small no couch to sit on, edge where carpet and tiles in kitchen was sharp and had sharp tacks sticking up. No Milo or hot chocolate. Very little linen- eg two guests one flannel, 2 towels, 1 bath mat. Staff were nice. Balcony when wet was very slippery. Pool was empty.

Gary
The Motel was dated and not well kept generally. Compared to others I have stayed in was not good value for money (at the full $140 per night) I was charged for staying another night.
Susie
Not a safe place taxi didn’t want to pick me and I had to pay the taxi before I left
I was there 2 hours before I banged on reception door to get a taxi as felt unsafe
I did tell them to keep the money which they did

Location was perfect, and room was clean and reasonably comfortable for our needs. Motel needs to upgrade bedding and facilities as they didn’t exactly reflect what was shown on the website.
Louise
Friendly and helpful staff. Booked for 4 people but only 3 provided for and I had to make own bed on couch. Property is sufficient but quite rundown and lacking in areas.

a great stay, nice and convenient, Thank you
Margaret
Reasonably priced. Very clean
Robert
Noise from upstairs during the night was disruptive. No bedside lamps which was unacceptable as I had to get up and turn the room light on and off.
Sheryl
Just an average motel.
Sarah
Avonlodge motel
Run down, no curtains over the windows.
Yvette
Value for money as cheap and cheerful. Clean & tidy. Staff were helpful when we needed extra flannels. No noise. Would love to go back when the pool is back in service. Easy to find and only an $18 Uber ride to Eden Park for the concert,
Raymond
room was fine
Helen
This property has false advertising. It shows a nice pool with seating, but the pool was empty, and appears to have been for some time. Outdoor area very shabby, and there was a large dog next door which barked if it saw you. Front desk stated no pets. Unit was very clean and comfortable, but no air conditioning.

The bathroom hadn't been cleaned. There was hair on the bathrrom floor. The shower head fitting had been fixed with one screw and when the water splashed back onto and under the shower the mold and gunk which hadnt been cleaned for years streamed out. The toilet roll holder fell off the wall. Im disappointed our traditional motels are been run down by \"new management\"
Andrew
Clean and comfortable, not particularly handy if you dont have a car but walkable to the train station
Adrienne
Was pretty good for the price. There are some permanent residents at this motel which is worth pointing out. The parking out back is limited and difficult to get out of if you do discover no parking (check on foot first).
Staff were nice. Had everything we needed. There was a party next door all night, not the motels fault though. Wish there had been air conditioning, quite hot.

Carol
Overall the property was adequate. Property had a lot of permanent stayers, parking was tight space was OK for 1 night.
Ray
Room was clean but there seem to be people living long term here in the room next to mine who had a dog. They stayed up all night making noise. Had trouble sleeping due to noise. Wouldn’t recommend.
Lotasi
Very good
James
The unit was so bad we didn’t stay there at all. It’s the worst accommodation I have ever experienced period. Dirty, ants everywhere, no toilet paper and had a strong stench. I could go on. The smell alone was enough for my wife and I to agree we didn’t want to spend 10 mins there never mind two nights that we had paid for. We be asking for a full refund. An absolute disgrace.
Henry
It was exactly as expected and is great value for money. Just one small issue, they need to vacuum under the bed as clearly this had not happened for a long time.
Lotasi
Unfriendly staff
Mohammed
Property is close to many amenities. Free parking, desk service was great on arrival. It says free wifi but we didnt get any pin, tried calling but no answer. I recommend leave wifi code in the room if it is free, i shouldn't have to ask for it. Toilet was rocky, its probably the wear and tear should be fixed before someone gets hurt. Thats my take. Thank you.
Claire
Very noisy in the day but after 10 it was good. We should have been told it is being used for emergency housing. I few things need to be looked at block out curtains need to be on doors not neats, and some of the plates were dirty. Other than that it was good. Cleaning lady was very nice.
Daniel
It was just chill and welcoming will definitely stay there again
Peter
Pleasnt staff, clean units
Carla
The staff were friendly and helpful, but was not aware that the motel was used for social housing and was noisy.
Bobbi-Lee
Good location, we needed a place to stay while coming up to see P!NK in concert at Eden park as there was no hotels in the city left.
Is quiet an old motel, smells funky, like it needs a deep clean. Neighbours were noisy (partying) if we had come with our kids this would have been a big no no. Was ok since we got in at 11pm. And checked out at 9am.. that was an easy $300 for the motel owners.

They said my room had a kitchen but it only had a microwave. There were msd funded people staying there clearly druggies. Someone tried my door at 2 am woke me up when i got out of bed they ran away. The parking was hopless had to do a 15 point turn to get out. When i arived at the parking it was full and i had to do a very dificult back out damaging my bumper on there fence getting out of the car park. I will never stay there again

The Host is very accommodating and made sure that my needs were met.

Marc
good location, not far from motorway
William
I liked it was exactly how it stated in the review the team were nice ,the place looked aas it did in the pictures it was clean the price was reasonable id go there again ,
Murray
There was no hot water either in the evening nor first thing in the morning. It was only just above cold.
I went to inform management at reception and was only spoken to over an intercom with no apology or solution offered. Things go wrong sometimes, that accepted, but to fully ignore it when it's brought to your attention is extremely poor

It had a little kitchenette, which we did not use, but that would have been convenient for others. One washcloth for two is likely not sufficient, a little more shampoo for two would’ve been lovely. I think newer, softer pillow would be nice.
Joseph
Lovely and quiet place for a relaxing stay.
Claire
nothing further to add
Lyn
Not impressed overall for a supposedly delux stidio3
Julie
It was fine for a night but the towels were old, small and thin. There weren’t enough pillows and the cups were tiny. Decor is old and tired.

It was good and clean
Verified traveler
The room was very clean, however the stairs to office and also to room on upper level were hard with a suitcase. The curtains were very light and in poor condition. I was also disappointed not to get any milk when I checked in or in my room. The only lock on the entrance was a ranchslider catch which I didnt feel completely secure with.
Verified traveler
Booking the motel and arriving there was an easy process.
Sean
Handy to West Auckland and Central city
Tidy and quiet unit. Was perfect for a one night stay visiting friends who lived nearby.
Verified traveler
The check-in was easy and a pleasant welcome - the room was clean and as expected.
Verified traveler
Ideal location for us. Neat tidy rooms. Building a bit tired, but think management seems to be addressing this. I’d be happy to stay there again,
Jen
Avondale
Our stay was wonderful. Only trouble was it had a microwave, but no bowls or anything you could cook in to put in the microwave. Needs a bowl at least if not 2? Also no grater available, and only 1 sharp knife, could have done with a vege knife as wel.. Other than that, service excellent, staff very polite chatty and friendly. Good customer service
Verified traveler
Good location to the conference I was attending. Close to markets & shops.
